South Cobb Regional Library will be the site of summer events for drive-through food pantries and a literacy event.
Families in need are invited to drive-through food pantry events at the library, 805 Clay Road, Mableton.
Twice each month, Cobb Public Library and Atlanta Community Food Bank stage these free outdoor events at the library.
The next food distribution will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., or while supplies last, on July 21.
Later events will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 4, Aug. 18, Sept. 1, Sept. 15, Oct. 6, Oct. 20, Nov. 3, Nov. 17, Dec. 1 and Dec. 15.
One package of 20 pounds of food will be distributed per family on a first-come, first-served basis.
The packages include produce and shelf-stable items.

The other event is hosted by Learning Spaces and United Way of Greater Atlanta.
This drive-through Literacy Pop-Up event will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. July 23 at the library.
