CCPL's Edgar Allan Poe/Sullivan's Island Library Ribbon-Cutting & Grand Reopening
Mez Joseph
Congratulations to Charleston County Public Library on the grand reopening of Edgar Allan Poe/Sullivan's Island Library! Our team had the pleasure of attending the ribbon-cutting celebration Tuesday morning, where we heard from local leaders, connected with community members, and spent some time with Owlbert, CCPL’s mascot. The library is located in the renovated Battery Gadsden, a former Spanish-American War battery built to protect the South Carolina coastline. Angela Craig, Executive Director of Charleston County Public Library, shared an impactful message: “For nearly 50 years, the Edgar Allen Poe/Sullivan’s Island Library has been more than just a place for books – it’s been a gathering space for the community and, quite literally, a repurposed stronghold!” We are honored to have been a part of this meaningful renovation and look forward to seeing the continued positive impact this library will have on its visitors!
“While the history of this building may linger in its walls, the true magic happens in the connections made between neighbors, friends, and readers of all ages.” – Angela Craig, Executive Director, CCPL
