South Cobb Regional Library, 805 Clay Road, Mableton, reopened on Nov. 1 as its major three-month renovation project was completed.
Cobb County Property Management Department officials said in a statement that the renovation includes extensive upgrades of interior and exterior areas.
Highlights of the project include substantial plumbing repairs to correct issues with the sewer line, improvements of the public restrooms and installation of new flooring, tile, partitions and other fixtures.
“We are very enthusiastic about getting everyone back in the building to serve the public with their informational and recreational needs,” said South Cobb Library Manager Roxanne Magaw.
Exterior improvements include restoration of the site’s retention pond, parking lot light fixtures and landscaping.
The remaining work for the project includes repaving of the library parking lot.
Along with the return of library events in early November at South Cobb, Cobb County officials are preparing for the library to serve as the Mableton 01 voting precinct location for today’s Cobb Education - Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ED-SPLOST) VI election.
The next Drive-Thru Food Pantry event - hosted by the library in partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) - will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the library.
During the renovation, the ACFB events - staged by library and Cobb government colleagues on the first and third Wednesday of the month - were relocated to the nearby Mable House Arts Center on Floyd Road in Mableton.
South Cobb library hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays to Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
