Design approved for East Marietta Library rebuild

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to approve the schematic design for the rebuild of the East Marietta Library and Cultural Center.

Batson-Cook Company is the architect.

The $1.34 million library/center will be at 2051 Lower Roswell Road in Marietta on the site of the current library.

The present East Marietta Library was built in 1966-67 and renovated in 2009.

Funding will come from the 2016 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
