Summer Adventure Challenge supports family bonding time, community engagement, and shared learning experiences. We’ve included activities designed to encourage participation by the whole family because learning doesn’t stop when you leave school. Visit our Summer Adventure Challenge page to get started.

Early Learning

1000 Books B4 Kindergarten

Research confirms that exposing children to books before they begin kindergarten helps in the development of language and literacy skills. These skills will help them be more successful in the classroom and contribute to a lifetime love of learning and reading. Find out more about our 1000B4K early learning initiative here.

Early Learning Resources for Parents and Caregivers

Talk. Read. Play. Sing. Write. Learn how to support your child's early learning from birth to kindergarten and beyond. Get started here.

Library PASS

Great news! We've partnered with Cobb County Schools and Marietta City Schools to increase your child’s access to educational and enriching resources. Your child's student number now works like a library card giving them access to our online resources and our physical materials collection during the school year and over summer break.
