Staff Report From Newnan CEO

Wednesday, January 16th, 2019

Cooper Roman, a Boy Scout and Peachtree City resident, recently built and installed four Little Free Libraries on the campus of Christian City. The libraries are located outside each of Christian City’s three Active Senior Living patio home clubhouses and next to the Dog Park.
 
Christian City’s senior residents are excited about the libraries. They provide meeting places for neighbors to connect and share their favorite books as they take one and leave one.
 
Tyler Wright, Director of Campus Recreation, says, “We’re grateful to Cooper for initiating and completing this project for us. The Little Free Libraries are more than just another campus amenity; they are a way for our seniors to engage with their community in a positive way. We’re excited to read and share the joy with others!”
 
Cooper first learned about Christian City during his family’s search for housing for his grandfather. “My mom has also volunteered at Christian City and given presentations there,” Cooper said. His work on the project at Christian City contributed to earning his Presidential Service Award. Cooper has been in Scouting since third grade. He is a sophomore at McIntosh High and a member of the school’s lacrosse team.
