Cobb Summer Reading

Thanks for a great summer 2020! See you in Summer 2021!

Relax, play, and have fun this summer. Keep reading, too! By reading 20+ minutes a day, students avoid the "summer academic slide" and maintain or advance academic gains. To support summer reading and learning, The Cobb County School District's Library Media Education Department, in conjunction with the Cobb County Public Library, Smyrna Public Library, and Marietta City Schools, challenges all students to read 20 minutes every day for a total of 20 hours this summer!

We have a fresh, new program for logging minutes this year: Beanstack! Summer reading will begin on June 1, 2020. Beanstack is available as website and an app. For more information and to sign up, visit http://www.cobbcat.org/summer/

You can also print a paper version of the Summer Adventure & Reading Log 2020 from the Cobb County Public Library.
A Spanish version is available here.

student number = library card

Your student number is also your Cobb County Public Library card! Simply stop by any CCPL branch and check out up to 5 print books using your student number and 4-digit birthday (2-digit month and 2-digit day). Students may also check out digital materials such as ebooks.
