Books & BBQ is our annual summer reading kickoff celebration. No matter what your age, we've got a summer reading program for you. This year, our themes will be:

• "Make a Splash," our Children's Summer Reading theme,
• "Make Waves at Your Library," for the young adults in the family, and
• "Read and Relax," a program geared toward adults.

See photos of the process so far, from early stages like the architects' rendering and groundbreaking ceremony, to the latest updates.

Bring this year's W-2s, 1099s, and any other forms indicating federal income tax paid, along with a copy of last year's income tax return. With a special focus on taxpayers with low- and middle-income and those age 60 and older, these tax prep sessions will offer a valuable service to the Coweta community. Dates and locations:

• A. Mitchell Powell Jr. Public Library - Wednesdays, February 3rd through April 14th, from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
• Central Library - Tuesdays, February 9th through April 13th, from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM.
