Gordon Cooper Branch

To commemorate the sinking of the Titanic 100 years ago, the Gordon Cooper Branch Library's time machine is taking all willing participants (at their own risk!) back in time to the day before the actual sinking! Can we alter the course of history? Kids in grades 4-7 are invited to join us on this historical adventure!

The Teen Advisory Board is a monthly forum where teens discuss issues related to teen use of the library -- its materials, services, and programs.

Children in grades K through 5 are invited to join us for crafts at the Gordon Cooper Branch Library on the second Tuesday of each month from 4-5 p.m. Let your imagination go wild while creating new things out of recycled materials at the Library's creation station.
