September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! There's more than meets the eye to a library card. Roll out with a library card!
Benefits of a Cobb County Library Card:
- Access to a vast collection of materials: From books and music, to laptops, park and museum passes, book club kits, and more, our shelves are brimming with materials for all ages and interests.
- Free educational resources: Our library card gives you access to a wealth of educational resources, including online databases, research tools, and eBooks and eAudiobooks. If you are a Cobb or Marietta Schools student, you have built-in access with your Library PASS.
- Fun and engaging programs: We offer a variety of programs for all ages, from storytimes to author talks to craft and homeschool meetups. There's always something happening at the library!
- Technology and internet access: Our libraries offer free Wi-Fi and public computers, so you can stay connected and get work done. Check out a hotspot or Chromebook and get connected on the go!
- A sense of community: Libraries are a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to learn, grow, and connect. Join a Conversation Circle, plant in the Community Garden, volunteer at the Book Sale, or simply share library space with others.
