Bolden retired from Dreher in 1982, but continued to work in the local library community. She was the secretary of the Richland County Public Library board of trustees, and oversaw major projects such as construction of the Northeast branch, relocation of Eastover and Wheatley branches, and fundraising for the main branch.

1968

Bolden educated generations of residents in Columbia, South Carolina. Bolden established libraries in Columbia's Black elementary schools and emphasized collecting books about Black history. She wrote, "It is now an established fact that the lack of a knowledge of the history of black Americans does harm not only to blacks but to whites as well. A lack of black history leaves the white student only half educated in American history, and only half prepared for the American future." Her dedication continued when she integrated Dreher High School as its head librarian in 1968.

In 1968 she became the head librarian at Dreher High School. Her belief in free education for all students led her to open up the library's collection. She and guidance counselor Francena Robinson were the first two African Americans to integrate the faculty.
