Crews continue working on construction of the North Cobb Regional Library.

This 25,000-square-foot facility will be located in Acworth at the intersection of Old Highway 41 and Blue Springs Road directly across from North Cobb High School.

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

The facility will be a consolidation of the Acworth and Kennesaw public libraries that were built in the mid-1960s.

This $8.6 million project is funded by voter-approved 2016 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax funds.
