South Cobb Regional Library, 805 Clay Road, Mableton, will reopen 10 am Monday, November 1 as its major three-month renovation project nears completion.

Cobb County Property Management Department officials said 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 November 1 reopening of the library to the public is on schedule. 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 the November 2 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 Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) will take place Wednesday, November 3 at the library from 11 am to 1 pm. 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.

South Cobb library hours are Monday-Wednesday, 10 am to 8 pm; Thursday-Friday, 10 am to 6 pm; and Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm.
