I've checked into this Charleston County Library branch over 100 times, and I'm a happy patron…read more Bees Ferry library is a great place to browse and check out books, put books on hold online, print documents, and also use the intra-library loan to get materials from libraries in other cities and states. If CCPL doesn't have the book you want, they can get it for you and to the branch most convenient to you. Besides that, the library is a fun 'third place' to be away from home or work, and everything is free (minus printing, which is super cheap). The library is very busy with students after school hours. If you want a very quiet environment, come during the school day or later in the evening (after 6:00 PM). I am so glad to have this branch close to home.

I stopped by this location Saturday morning for the first time after placing a book on hold. The…read morelibrary is beautiful and the staff was incredibly friendly. I was able to grab my book and check out quickly. This was my first time placing a book on hold but it will not be my last! This location is conveniently located near my home and also near all of my other weekend errands. I will be a frequent visitor!

It's a little small, but the staff is so helpful and welcoming. I rent a million books and movies and I return them late way to often but the ladies never try and shun me. It's so clean and peaceful. I wish they were open more because I love so close. But I love being able to pop in and check out a movie or book from the wide selection. I don't have kids but they seem to have a pretty neat room just for kids too. Best Library ever!

My husband has started his Masters so I have been dropping by here pretty often to pick up books…read more This library is a part of the SCLENDS program so you can get books from other libraries in the state sent here to borrow. They make it really easy to find books via their website. I can log into my account and place a hold from home and then they will email and/or text when it is available. The reserved books section is to the right when you walk in the door. It's alphabetized by the borrower's last name so you can easily grab your book and head to the checkout stations. If you're checking out a book from another library, you will have to scan the barcode inside the back cover (or some are on the back cover), otherwise the system just knows what the book is when you lay it on the console. The parking lot is pretty small here so I usually have to park in the shopping center lot and walk over (not far). Also, free WiFi here!

Nestled on the edge of Historic Summerville, the Azalea town in the pines, the Timrod Library is an…read moreactual treasure chest of both history and wonder. Filled with books that celebrate history, current novelist favorites, children's selection, and a quiet space not yet tarnished and overrun with technology, the Timrod is perhaps the best Library I have encountered yet. It's enough to make anyone re-discover and fall in love with Libraries as they were once intended- a peaceful space to educate oneself and dive into both new and old perspectives. The smells of the old 1915 home make you feel blessed to even be amongst such information that can both educate and open your eyes. Open from 10-5 daily, the fee for membership at this nonprofit is only $25 a year. This type of non profit is a great reminder that not all are the same- the money from membership goes to being able to maintain the site rather than go directly into someone's pocket. Of course you're free to spend time learning complimentarily, but once you set foot inside and are open to all it has to offer, needless to say, I wanted to give more so that this special place can continue to exist and thrive. Did I mention T-shirts. You simply must go. The staff are all wonderful people to care about people and their work. Cindy, Carol, Connie, Louis, Barbara .... these women are pillars of examples of grace and encouragement. Am so happy the Timrod is here, has been here, and better continue to be! Much love, your woman and faithful forever patron, Natalie

Massive, modern and pretty darned awesome…read more The library has some of the most advanced check out and return devices I've seen. Like a self-checkout at the supermarket, it's great for the introverts that don't want to have a conversation. One of the "study" rooms was open this afternoon and I was able to spend some time with laptops set up and be on a few Zoom calls before the end of my workday. A terrific space and very productive.

Story time rooms, education rooms, computers with educational games, reading nooks in the windows, beautifully designed book shelves and displays, a cool "shark room" which was a reading area with dome windows all around with sharks displayed and a lovely outside area to read. The staff was very helpful and patient with the kids. They helped with the scavenger hunt that they had for children and went over different programs and events they had coming up. It's a little bit of a hike for us, but we will continue going there. My daughter absolutely loves it and tells everyone about it.

The staff is so friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, and you can tell they truly care about Charleston's history and about making members feel at home. It's a great place to attend programs if you're looking for something to do in Charleston in the evening and a great community to be a part of if you're looking to join. There are several different membership levels. I really enjoyed the way everything is laid out. The exhibits and events are thoughtfully presented, making learning about Charleston's history interesting and meaningful.
