1. The Roswell Library will offer free child eye exams on July 25 and at the East Roswell Library on July 27. This service is being offered through a partnership between the Fulton County Library System and the Vision to Learn organization. This partnership is to raise awareness on the importance of regular eye exams, especially considering the use of screen time children have had since online learning and the pandemic. Parents are urged to register. (11Alive.com WXIA)
