Millbrook art fundraiser will support public library programs
A June 25 hydrangea painting class at the Millbrook Civic Center will help fund Millbrook Public Library programs, from summer reading prizes to year-round events.
A hydrangea painting class at the Millbrook Civic Center will send proceeds back to Millbrook Public Library programs and services, adding practical support to one of the city’s most active public institutions. The fundraiser, listed as “Acrylics - Library Fundraiser w/ Nancy Cooper,” is scheduled for June 25 and is limited to 30 openings for participants ages 13 and older.
Artist and instructor Nancy Cooper will lead the guided acrylic class, giving residents a chance to spend an evening on a hands-on project while backing the library’s programming budget. The event is being promoted through Millbrook Art Mill scheduling, connecting the fundraiser to the city’s arts network and to a civic cause with broad local use.
That support matters because the library’s calendar reaches well beyond book lending. The Millbrook Public Library says it offers year-round programs and events, and its 2026 Summer Reading Program, themed “Unearth A Story,” includes prizes for kids, teens and adults along with a community challenge that uses donation jars. Funds raised from the painting class can help keep those activities moving through the summer and beyond.
The library at 3650 Grandview Road also serves as a community classroom, hosting weekly story hours, crafts, educational programs and special presentations. Recent programming has included visits from Alabama Wildlife from Lanark, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, the Alabama Department of Archives and History and local gardening experts, underscoring how often the building is used for family-oriented events rather than only checkout service.
Millbrook also ties its arts work directly to city operations. The City of Millbrook says the Millbrook Art Mill operates within its Cultural Arts and Special Events Department, making the fundraiser part of an official community arts effort rather than an isolated studio event. For families, teens and adults in Autauga County who use the library’s services, that means a painting class on June 25 will do more than fill an evening, it will help sustain a public space that remains central to daily life in Millbrook.
