Of her retirement plans, Mayor Gary Fuller stated, “On behalf of the City of Opelika let me just say that we appreciate Susan’s nine years of service to both the community and the Lewis Cooper Jr., Memorial Library.  We wish her the very best as she begins this new chapter in her life.”
As she puts in her final few weeks at Cooper Library, Delmas states, “It has been a pleasure to work and live in Opelika.  I have met some really great people who I hope will remain lifelong friends.”
Upon her retirement, Delmas will have spent nine years with the City of Opelika, and a little more than 19 years with the Alabama Library System.  Added to her four years’ of service in Florida, she will have served in the Library Systems of both states a total of 23 years.
