North Cobb Regional Library helps community with economic preparedness workshops

Three gears, the largest one with a dollar sign in the middle

By Kelly Johnson

With September’s fall equinox traditionally marking the Celtic harvest season of Samhain (pronounced SOW-in)—which has a huge influence on Halloween in America—North Cobb Regional Library has scheduled a couple of events to help communities maximize dollars for the harvest (at least at the grocery stores or farmers’ markets) and prepare for the long winter months ahead.

On Thursday, September 4th at 1 PM, Zoe Soltanmammedova from the Cobb County University of Georgia Extension office will present Shopping for Food on a Budget. While one’s budget is typically a juggle of preference, means, opportunity, and motivation (or discipline), this presentation will teach people how to make the most of both their budget and food shopping experience(s).

Following this is Afternoon Adventures: Thinking Money, Making Moo-lah, also on Thursday, September 4th at 4 PM. Designed for elementary children (5-10 years of age), Thinking Money is a game in which they will move around a giant gameboard which teaches them how to budget, as farmers trying to make a profit.

Of course, if books are one’s pleasure, then one way to stretch one’s budget is to check out the offerings with the book clubs at North Cobb Regional Library. Doing so provides the opportunity to read before buying, or perhaps splurging since one may develop or have a discretionary budget from learning to stretching their means. Here’s the library’s book club schedule and a storytime event for September:

  • Romance Book Discussion, Tuesday, September 2nd at 6:00 PM

(Next of Kin by Hannah Bonam-Young)

  • Blue Jay Storytime with Lynn Street, Thursday, September 11th at 4:00 PM
  • Wednesday Afternoon Book Discussion, Wednesday, September 17th at 1 PM

(The Measure by Nikki Erlick)

  • Cover-to-Cover Book Discussion, Tuesday, September 23rd at 2:00 PM
