Acworth and Kennesaw Libraries, constructed in the mid-1960s, are closing permanently on July 13.
Farewell celebrations are planned at both libraries with remarks about and displays of their history:
- 2-4 p.m. July 9 / Kennesaw Library, 2250 Lewis St., Kennesaw / 770-528-2529
- 1-3 p.m. July 11 / Acworth Library, 4569 Dallas St., Acworth / 770-917-5165
Instead a new consolidated facility will open on Sept. 3 - the North Cobb Regional Library.

New features will include creative space, a community room, study rooms, dedicated areas for children and teens, an outdoor plaza for children, state-of-the-art technology and a drive-up book return.
