Cobb libraries to provide check-out citizenship and civics kits

Cobb libraries Thanksgiving week events

Starting Oct. 3, Cobb library patrons will be able to check out materials to help them in the process of becoming American citizens.

The Citizenship and Civics guides include “official U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) publications and study guides on the naturalization process, according to a Cobb County Public Library System release.

Katherine Zavala, a member of the library’s Community and User Engagement department, said the kits also will help aspiring citizens prepare to meet with an immigration attorney. More from the release:

“The kit contains publications on the rights and responsibilities of immigrants seeking to become a U.S. citizen, quick civic lessons for the naturalization test, flashcards in English and Spanish on naturalization, and a Citizenship Resources at the Library sheet. The checkout period for the kit is three weeks.”

The launch of the kits comes on National Diversity Week, Oct. 3-7. For information and to download materials related to the kits, visit www.cobbcounty.org/library/services/passports-citizenship.
