During the pandemic, many have realized how much we miss gathering in physical places, including our libraries. This week, we were elated to celebrate the reopening of Switzer Library in downtown Marietta after major renovations to improve indoor and outdoor areas and its administrative and support services spaces. To watch a short video about the history of Cobb’s flagship library and get an inside look at some of the new features, click here.
New features include a family computing space on the main floor, the Accessibility Services Room for patrons with disabilities, sensory processing disorders or in need of a calmer environment, a new children’s programming room and two makerspaces, for both teens and adults. An enclosed outdoor plaza with seating and a garden area is accessible through the Hattie Gaines Wilson Youth Services area. The Georgia Room — the Cobb library special historic and genealogical collection — also now has a dedicated conference room and additional space. This project was mainly funded by the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax and also a grant from the Georgia Public Library Service.
Located at 266 Roswell St., Switzer Library is one-half mile from the Marietta Square. For more information, visit cobbcounty.org/library.
