We Support Cobb's Libraries
The Foundation
Since 2003, the Cobb Library Foundation has worked to support the continued excellence of our county’s 15 libraries - enhancing the visibility of critical programs and building private support for them.
This year, we have:
Supported Research in the Georgia Room
Purchased a ScanPro 3500, a state-of-the-art scanner that allows for easy digitization of images and documents, for the Georgia Room.
Enabled Imaginative Play at Vinings Library
Purchased 2 Illumination Stations, projectors with sand boxes that use Augmented Reality technology to transfer realistic colors and life-like images onto the sand for a mesmerizing sensory experience. One is permanently housed at the Vining Children’s Area, the other circulates through out the Library System.
Funded Critical Literacy Programs

Provided Funds for Staff Development
