Summer Reading
Visit https://www.cobbsummerreading.com/ for information about the Summer Reading partnership with the Cobb Public Library. Be sure your student reads at least 20 minutes a day to avoid the "summer slide"! Have fun with it! Download some audio books in SORA to "read" with your child. Happy Reading!
About our Library Media Center
Students will have opportunities to visit the library with their classes and individually. All students will be allowed to check out library materials. Please help your students keep up with their library books by storing them in their backpack at home. Remember to read to your child every day! Even if they are reading well by themselves, it is important to continue to read aloud to them. Consider checking out books from the public library for this purpose.
