Some of the initial special events at the new library begin the following day, Dec. 5, taking full advantage of the 28,000 square feet of space that includes a variety of cultural art space, including an amphitheater, black box theater, an art gallery and art classrooms, a recording studio and more.

Those activities include writers and filmmakers groups, a photography class, film and orchestral music enrichment programs, classic movie screenings and concerts.

“Sewell Mill is decidedly about creative space and collaboration, from individuals concentrating on expressing their artistic skills to crowds enjoying musical and theatrical performances alongside traditional library space,” said Cobb County Library Director Helen Poyer said in a statement. “This is a major and unique community asset that all of Cobb County will be proud to use and visit.”
