North Cobb library hosts autumn wreath workshop for teens

North Cobb Regional Library will host a wreath-making workshop for young people on Tuesday, November 10. The event, titled Middle Makers: Autumn Wreaths, is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. It targets children aged eleven to fifteen.

The session allows participants to decorate for the Thanksgiving holiday. Library staff explain that autumn wreaths carry specific symbolic meanings. Maple and oak leaves represent letting go with strength. Mini-pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns symbolize protection and home security. Pinecones and acorns stand for potential and future prosperity.

The library notes that these items create a visual invitation to share in the spirit of Thanksgiving. The decorations are meant to convey warmth and comfort associated with the season.

The library at 3535 Old 41 Hwy NW in Kennesaw also lists several book club meetings for November. The Monday Night Murder Club meets on November 2 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss 4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie. On November 17 at 6:00 p.m., the Beyond Baker Street group will discuss God of the Hive by Laurie R. King.

The Cover-to-Cover club meets on Tuesday, November 24 at 2:00 p.m. for a discussion of Buckeye by Patrick Ryan. The Wednesday Afternoon Book Discussion takes place on November 25 at 1:00 p.m. to cover Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly. A separate Horror Book Club schedule is available but not listed in this summary.

The library will close on Wednesday, November 11 for Veteran’s Day. It will close early at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25. The branch will remain closed for Thanksgiving until Saturday, November 28, when it reopens at 10:00 a.m. Residents can call 770-801-5320 for event inquiries or to review the full November schedule.
