Library Fundraising Efforts
Greetings from the volunteers who have kept the Cooper Landing Community Library alive and well since 1983. 41 years and going strong! There have been many changes through the years. The card catalog is long gone, and the introduction of the internet has taken us from one secondhand computer and a fax machine to four public access computers, color printing, and an Integrated Library System. The building has doubled in size and undergone numerous upgrades to make operations more cost-efficient. Through all these changes, the library continues to provide public computers and printers, reliable internet, new-release and up-to-date fiction, non-fiction, DVDs, magazines, and a delightful children’s section. We also offer access to the Alaska Digital Library through Overdrive for audiobooks and eBooks.
Providing this service to the community comes at a cost. Annually, we apply for and receive a grant of up to $7,000 from the State Library. Our community is required to match this amount. This year we are once again asking for your help. Checks can be mailed to Cooper Landing Community Library, PO Box 517, Cooper Landing, AK 99572. You can also donate directly at the library or online through our website, cooperlandinglibrary.com, by clicking the donate button at the bottom of the page.
Donations received for 2024 have just passed the $3,500 mark. We’re halfway there! Thank you so much to those who have contributed.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CHUGACH ELECTRIC ABOUT THE TREE REMOVAL EFFORT!
I received a call from Arthur Miller, CEO of Chugach Electric Assn. with intense concern about the status of the tree clean up in Cooper Landing. He was sincere and direct in his desire to make sure Cooper Landing was taken care of. I will be reconnecting with him early next week to give him a report of how the community feels and what else needs attention. This is your chance to speak up and be heard but I will need your comments no later than the end of Tuesday, June 18th. Please send any communication, positive, negative or ongoing issues regarding the downed tree removal to officers@cooperlandingcommunityclub.com rather than a comment on Facebook or text to me. I will make sure to pass on all information and input. Thanks for being part of the solution and thank you Chugach Electric for their continued support.
