South Cobb Regional Library, 805 Clay Road, Mableton will be closed temporarily for a major renovation project, starting Aug. 2, Cobb County officials announced on July 21.
This library closure is scheduled for three months, with the anticipated reopening on Nov. 1.
The project for the library includes interior and exterior repairs.
Cobb County Property Management Department officials say in a statement the project includes substantial plumbing repairs to correct issues with the existing sewer line that have resulted in several emergency repairs.
Also, there will be improvements of the public restrooms and installation of new flooring, tile, partitions and other fixtures.
The exterior work will include restoration of the site’s retention pond, landscape improvements and retrofitting the parking lot lights to LED fixtures.
Overall, the project is designed to enhance the functionality and appearance of the public facility as a safe and engaging community space, according to a statement by Cobb County Public Library System Communications Specialist Tom Brooks.
Library patrons, who have placed holds for pick up at South Cobb, will be able to retrieve reserved materials at the Sweetwater Valley Library in the Threadmill Complex, 5000 Austell-Powder Springs Road, Suite 100, Austell.
Other nearby libraries include Powder Springs, Lewis A. Ray and Vinings.
