Triple D Production Company
The Cobb County Public Library System will begin a multimedia initiative for teens in 2012. The “Triple D Production Company,” which is being funded by the Cobb Library Foundation, will develop a total health audiovisual program for children ages 6-12. The Cobb Library Foundation received a grant from the Thrashers Foundation in support of this project.
Cobb teens are invited to participate in the program, which will begin in January 2012. Staff members at the library system will schedule events to help teens learn about the process of making films. Teens will also be able to create films of their own. All films will be related to health and will be geared for children. These films will be shown at the library’s end-of-summer reading party in August 2012. Other components of the program include researching, writing, and editing health-related films.
