Located next to the children’s section of the library, books wait in this closed-off room for their hours of quarantine to end. The North Cobb Regional Library set up an organized system on how these returned books get processed. “All of the books go into quarantine for at least 72 hours. So we have some people who are more at risk than others, so then if they, you know, say that they arent comfortable with it, they arent touching any books at all. So we’ll just have staff that comes in after the 72 hours, and we process them like we used to...when people return it, we have them return it into the book drop so we dont actually have to touch it right away,” Kristen Gwin, head of teen services, said.

NC seniors Reed Walker, Ryan Camesa, and Christine Call utilize the communitys public facilities to study for their upcoming finals and complete homework. I think this is a great place to study because its a productive working environment, especially the Quiet Zone. It just really allows me to focus and thrive academically, especially during finals, Camesa said.

Into the community we go!

The removal of trees commenced construction for the new Acworth-Kennesaw Regional Library on the corner of Blue Springs Road and Old 41 Highway. “I was pained to see all the trees go. I know what the purpose was for, and overall, I think it is going to be a good thing provided they have a well-managed landscape. It would be a really cool thing if Greenhouse Gang got involved with whoever is doing the designing, and maybe be able to keep a few native trees and plants,” sponsor for NC’s Greenhouse Gang club Ms. Aughey said.

Media Specialist Lisa Wheeler helps a student checkout a book from the library. “I grew up in the Emory University library because both my parents taught there, so I grew up around books and research. I wanted to stick with that because I missed it. My favorite part is helping people, especially the kids who want to find a book and don’t know what to look for, so recommending something they end up loving. Also, helping the kids find research for their papers or whatever topics they’re looking at,” Ms. Wheeler said. Happy National Library Worker Day!

Sophomores Richard Walden and Carlton Chester opt for a quieter setting to enjoy their lunch, the library. “I like eating in the library because quiet and I can actually hear my friends and hold a conversation,” Chester said. “For example, we were just having an interesting conversation about Pokémon.”
