Opelika Giving Day
The Cooper Library Friends are honored to be selected for the 2021 Opelika Giving Day! Our goal is to raise $5000.00 towards the purchase of interactive musical play equipment for the grounds of the new library.
Be a part of giving day here: https://www.opelikagivingday.org/
Music is a global language that creates community, connection, and a sense of place. Music is so powerful that a few notes from a song can spark emotions and memories, taking the participant on a journey. Additionally, music helps to build reasoning skills and cognitive development while reducing stress. Further, playing music is a fun activity that can be shared across generations. Playing music with others fosters respect while building community.

Horse Drawn Carriage Rides through Victorian Front Porch Tour
A horse-drawn carriage will take you through the historic Victorian Front Porch Tour. The carriage will hold up to 6 people, so this is a perfect event to do with your family, friends, or colleagues. Each ride will last approximately 20 minutes and is a delightful way to see the beautiful Victorian Front Porch Tour. There will be a small reception before or after your ride at the beautiful Heritage House. Tickets available under the tickets tab.
The proceeds from this event support the Friends of the Cooper Library. Their mission is to support the programs and services of Lewis Cooper Jr. Memorial Library.
Thank you to our fantastic sponsors: Heritage House, Auburn Bank, H&S Commercial and Industrial Supplies and Services, Glynn Smith Chevrolet, Robins & Morton, and Bailey-Harris Construction.
