Free festivities launch 4 - 6 p.m. Saturday, May 30, for this year's Cobb Library summer reading program. Four simultaneous, family-friendly kickoff celebrations will happen at Gritters Library in Marietta, South Cobb Regional Library in Mableton, Switzer Library in Marietta, and West Cobb Regional Library in Kennesaw. There will be activities, music, and crafts for the whole family.

The summer reading program will challenge residents of all ages to pick up a book, engage their curiosity, and celebrate community literacy June 1 - July 31. Participants can track their reading and activity achievements using the Beanstack platform (available via the mobile app or online). Local public school students can also sync their school Beanstack accounts directly with their public library accounts so their minutes count toward both challenges. To complete the challenge, participants log their minutes and activities to hit "BINGO" on their challenge cards. Prizes are available for kids and adults.
