With summer’s official transition to fall occurring on a Monday afternoon, in late September, South Cobb Regional Library’s events schedule is set to make it a cozy month. Beginning with Adult Art Night on Tuesday, September 2nd at 5 PM, participants will make macramé keychains.
Macramé is a knotting technique used in the creation of a textile. Dissimilar to weaving or knitting, knotting uses cords as its fundamental material, which are made of cotton, linen, jute, or other fibers. Where weaving is broad with its material choices and can produce inflexible textiles, and knitting is limited to various types of yarns that produce highly flexible textiles, the knotting of macramé balances those two forms and produces a robust but pliable textile that is soft on the eyes. As a keychain, the tactile touch of macramé made by one’s own hands is sure to stay the relaxed and cozy comfort experienced with making it.
Complimenting Adult Art Night, Beads and Bonding at the library will allow participants to connect as a community on Saturday, September 20th at 2 PM.
Highlighting the fall equinox on Monday, September 22nd at 6 PM, the Graphic Novel Book Club will discuss a specific book to gather impressions of a theme-related book chosen by participants. The theme for this club meeting is “Cozy stories”. If one is unsure about cozy graphic novels, here’s a short list of titles:
Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell
The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O’Neill
Heartstopper by Alice Oseman
The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang
The Princess and the Grilled Cheese by Deya Muniz
The Graphic Novel Book Club meets via Google Meet here.
Other events which may offer coziness through shared experiences, making South Cobb Library a homely place for September, are as follows:
- Unsung Heroes: African American Soldiers in Sherman’s Army, Wednesday, September 3rd at 6:00 PM
- The Last Word Book Discussion, Thursday, September 11th at 4:30 PM
