We’ve spent nearly four years working together, asking for your ideas, your suggestions and your vision for the future of Charleston County Public Library. You were there every step of the way, and together we developed a Building and Renovation Plan that will bring our library system into the 21st Century.
On Nov. 4, you showed up to the polls to make sure “your” plan was approved and it passed by a huge three-to-one margin. It’s been a long journey to get to this point, but our work is just beginning because we must turn the vision and ideas into concrete and stone.
Receiving 74 percent of voter support was possible only because of the many individuals, organizations and media outlets that endorsed the referendum. To all of you who wrote letters, volunteered your time, handed out literature, made donations, posted on Facebook, planted yard signs, starred in our fabulous TV and Internet ads, emailed friends and neighbors and VOTED YES…..You did it!
As we assured you throughout the campaign, we will continue to seek your input on building designs. The next step is to work with the County Council and staff to secure land for the new libraries, develop a detailed timeline and begin the process of hiring architects and engineers.
We will host neighborhood meetings with the architects and hope you will attend. We will keep you updated on the Charleston County Public Library website. www.ccpl.org.
Our whole community will benefit from new libraries for years to come. The library Board of Trustees and staff members thank you for your support and trust.
