The Fall 2020 Cobb Library Book Sale, originally scheduled for October 9-11, is cancelled. 

The Spring and Fall Cobb Library Book Sales at the Cobb County Civic Center in Marietta are highlights of the year for many in the community drawn to the special events and attracts visitors to Cobb from nearby counties and states. A team of community youth and adult volunteers assists in staging the bi-annual events. The Fall sale is cancelled due to concerns about the COVID-19 virus.

The library system also cancelled its spring book sale, which was scheduled for the weekend of March 13-15. That’s when Cobb government and other entitities began shutting down due to COVID-19.

Proceeds from book sales provide financial support for library system.
