Cobb County is gearing up for a brief pause in its hustle as the government offices close their doors for Good Friday. In a notice published yesterday, the county announced that all administrative functions will come to a rest on April 18 to give way to the observance of the holiday. Those with plans to get any county business done will have to put them on hold or to quickly adjust them before the weekend sets in.
The county's public facilities are also set to shutter on Sunday, April 20, this time in recognition of Easter Sunday. Whether you're one to solemnly meditate or joyously celebrate, the day is yours to spend as you see fit—just don't plan to do so at the local government buildings. There is a silver lining for those looking to immerse themselves in the digital stacks of literature and media. Cobb's digital library stands ready to serve the community, unabashedly breaking the shackles of time with its 24/7 access to a cornucopia of digital resources. As noted by the county's announcement, "our digital library is always open."
Local residents and visitors, however, won't completely have to abandon the quest for leisure as open areas at Cobb parks remain accessible for those eager to socialize or quietly commune with nature. Whether you wish to vigorously engage in a game of frisbee or to simply enjoy a tranquil picnic, the public spaces await to fulfill those desires. Yet, remember that the usual facilities that aid and abet these ventures will not be available during the closure.
For those bibliophiles and media aficionados who refuse to put their quest for knowledge and entertainment on pause, the Cobb digital library proposes an enticing alternative. From the latest eBooks and eAudiobooks to digital magazines and comics, the virtual shelves are well-stocked and ready for endless exploration. As the county suggests, why not "Dive into eBooks, eAudiobooks, digital magazines, comics, and more"? Proving to be an indispensable community asset, it's certainly an invitation to continue to celebrate the joy of reading and learning—holiday or not.
