In celebration of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and to commemorate the legacy of the Grace Memorial Bridge, the Charleston County Friends of the Library are offering a limited time opportunity to own rare images from the 1929 construction of the Grace Bridge.
These selected images, from the Library's special collection, depict the amazing story of this Lowcountry symbol. Prints (8" x 10") are $15 each, and postcards (5.5" x 8.5") are $2 each.
Orders may be placed by mail or in person at the Administration Office of the County’s Main Library during business hours (Mondays-Fridays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.). Photo samples and order forms are available at all library locations.
Advance payment is required via cash, check or money order. Please do not send cash by mail.
