Charleston County Council will hold a public forum on Thursday, April 16, 2015, at 4:30 o’clock p.m., in the Beverly T. Craven Council Chambers, Lonnie Hamilton, III Public Services Building, 4045 Bridge View Drive, North Charleston, SC for the purpose of gathering input from the public regarding the new Library on James Island.

After much research by the Charleston Library Board Councilwoman Johnson feels that the former Baxter Patrick Elementary School property located at 1858 South Grimball Road will best serve the James Island community. Being located next to a school it offers excellent access for our children and it is already public land.

Please come and join Councilwoman Johnson in showing support for the South Grimball Road location!
