COBB COUNTY, GA — Cobb County Public Library officials will reopen seven library branches for some in-person services beginning March 15, the library system announced Wednesday.

After switching to curbside services only due to the COVID-19 pandemic, seven libraries will resume limited in-person services with health and safety guidelines in place, according to a news release.

“Our Cobb library teams work hard to develop ways to open access to library spaces and resources in support of Cobb families, schools, adult learners and the community as a whole,” Cobb Library Director Helen Poyer said in the release. “This shared commitment to service, safety and resiliency runs deep.”
