Book it to the Colonial Beach Library

Colonial Beach 's library is a 4,700 square foot facility with over 24,000 items formally known as the Abraham and William Cooper Memorial Branch. Designed by The Lukmire Partnership of Arlington, Virginia, it was funded by a donation from the Douglas Cooper Family and by FOTL fundraising activities.

Starting out in 1972 in a church basement, it moved to a location on Hawthorne Street five years later and in 2000, it moved to it's present location on Washington Avenue.

The facility sometimes doubles as a driver improvement course test site, thanks to the availability of a classroom onsite. It also offers things like computer classes, kids, teen and adult movie nights, children's storytime, afternoon tea and game nights. Check the events calendar for dates and times.


Daily in March 2010: Enter their video contest for teens to celebrate "Teen Tech Week- Learn, Create, Share @ Your Library." Create a 1-3 minute movie about “why the library is important to you” and submit it via their online submission form. Winner(s) will be featured on the library’s Web site. Submissions accepted March 1st thru 31st. Contact your librarian to book filming time with one of their Flip cameras. Vote online for your favorites beginning April 1-7. See http://teens.librarypoint.org for rules and details. Grades 7-12.
