Cobb Library Foundation

Increasing the Presence of the Library in Our Community
Through Advocacy and Fundraising

WHO WE ARE:

The Cobb County Public Library Foundation was incorporated in 2003 as a fund raising body for the Cobb County Public Library System. The Foundation is a Non-Profit 501c3 corporation governed by a Board of Directors. Its purpose is to plan and implement fundraising for the Library System. Funds raised will supplement, not take the place of, funds from traditional sources.

YOU ARE INVITED: Quarterly "Meet the Author" Luncheon.

Featured Author: Johnnie Gabriel, author of "Cooking in the South."

The “Marietta Cake Lady" presents over 150 delicious Southern recipes from her award-winning restaurant, Gabriel's Desserts, called “The Little Shop of Wonders” by Atlanta Magazine. She will also discuss her upcoming sequel, “Second Helpings.” All proceeds are designated to fund the Gail Rogers Honorary Scholarship.
