MARIETTA
‘Frozen’ and more
Christmas brings peace, love and joy — as well as turkey, cookies and super-excited kids — but the day after can bring a desperate desire to shake off the cabin fever and get out of the house. The Switzer Library, the main branch of the Cobb County system, has just the thing: a free film screening of “Frozen.” Don’t worry if your tykes have already seen it a hundred times. This outing includes a variety of craft projects to keep them doubly entertained. Perhaps they’ll “build snowman …” The only way to find out is to show up and join in.
3-5 p.m. Dec. 26. Free. 266 Roswell St., Marietta. 770-528-2320, cobbcat.org.

Discounts are available for students and those who need wheelchair access.
