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 lived in Charleston for ten years before visiting the Main library. Three other libraries are…read morecloser to my home, and with ILL and transfer between branches, I can read any book I want without having to travel downtown to pick it up. This library is massive and reminds me of the library at my state university (years ago), while the other libraries in the system are more like "neighborhood" branches. This may be the flagship library, but every branch is impressive. Another fun fact is that the Main Library branch serves as an early voting location during election season. Ballots and books are two of my favorite things, and I'm glad the library does its part to serve democracy. I thought I'd have to drive around for a parking spot or park in a nearby garage. Not true- there's parking on the ground level, your first hour is free, and it's super easy to get in and out. The Main library is also open on Sundays from 2-5 PM, and it's the only branch with Sunday hours. Since Sunday isn't as busy downtown, it's a great time to explore this branch.

Tons of parking which is nice but overall a small library. There is a children's section as well as…read morea teens section. Lots of computers in the middle and a few tables that are free to study and work on. The shelves seemed quite sparse of books which was a bit concerning, especially in such a prosperous neighborhood like Mount Pleasant. What really irritated me though was the noise. This is the noisiest library I have ever been to. I had 2 gentlemen having a conversation at the table next to me as if in a coffee shop. There was also a tutor having a session with a student at another table. Even the librarians were talking at full volume to people who came in. If I have to put earbuds in and play white noise in a library thats too loud. I know they had small side rooms for such situations. Please please please be more quiet.

Although the West Ashley Library is a bit dated, it's had several updates since my last review. First- no more interlibrary loan fees or overdue fees. This is a lifesaver since I forget to renew books on time. Parking hasn't been an issue lately either. Best of all, the library now has self-serve checkout kiosks! You can reserve your book online and pick it up when it's ready. CCPL will transfer books between branches, too. I hope the CCPL branch closer to my home reopens soon, but the West Ashley branch is a good option until then.

The staff is A+ and always eager to assist. If they dont have something you're looking for, they will get it! A good amount of seating is available if you want to sit for a while with a book, newspaper, magazine or your own computer. I never tried their wifi (normally use my own hotspot), but understand it's easy and good. So happy there is an excellent library on Daniel Island.
