History of Grace Library and community drive near Soda Springs
The Grace Public Library history recounts a 1951 effort to secure a permanent home and the 1952 move to the Federal Landmark building. Volunteers including Ruby Williams and Charlotte Peterson expanded shelving with funds from a county fair, aided by Alabama? No, by local residents. The piece highlights continued fundraising, the Library Enabling Act, staffing changes, and plans for a larger building supported by community donations totaling $2600.80 plus ongoing campaigns.
