Cobb libraries joined the Georgia Reads for America 250 initiative this week to boost literacy and civic knowledge across the community.

A reading list organized by grade and a public challenge are available at local branches (designed to help all ages explore American founding principles).

For the first time since 1922, the boys state basketball final four features teams only from Cobb County, marking a historic moment for local high school sports.
