I called in advance to ask if I could rerun the book through inter-library loan from our college library, located in the same town. They told me I must return the book physically. So I traveled and paid the parking to return the book. At soon as I entered the entrance, I was stopped abruptly by asking a tag to enter. I said I just need to return the book and I showed her my institute id. She said " actually return the book right here!!!!' I might misunderstand her, but if I were told that I just need to return the book to the guard and it would be less shocking to me.

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.

A beautiful facility, definitely a must see location for music lovers.

I recently visited the Johns Island Regional Library to get a library card, and the experience was…read moredisappointing. The male staff member was unfriendly and unhelpful from the start. When I asked to be placed on a waitlist for a book, I had to repeatedly ask basic follow-up question like how many people were ahead of me (it would have been helpful to know there were 10) and how I would be notified when it became available. None of this information was offered upfront, and getting answers felt like pulling teeth. A library should feel welcoming and informative, especially for new visitors. I hope the staff can improve communication and customer service moving forward. If you don't like your job, please find another one.

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.

After driving down upper King St. and seeing the beautiful mural on the side of the building, we decided to park and stop in. We were so pleasantly suprised! The library itself is rather small, but it certainly has everything you need and more. There are books of myriad genres for all ages groups, computer access, and chairs and tables to sit and read or study or do work. What was so wonderful to me though was all this library had to offer to its community members. Right when you walk in there is a recipe board where you can take a recipe or leave a recipe to share with others. There is a fridge and baskets with actual food and ingredients in it, in case you need a snack or need the ingredients to make a recipe (FOR FREE!) There are resources on how to create a resume, write a cover letter, and how to apply for a job. There's even a binder that has a list of open job offerings in the local area. The resume tip sheet was no joke either. As someone in academia, even I could use this because they had a list of action verbs that were so relevant to applying for a position! The activities for youth were also prevalent within the store. They had a little Kids Cafe they advertised as well as these wonderful book kits (See my pictures for more detail and information). These kits were different themes, whether it be for Manners, Bathing, Lions, Bears, Space, whatever it is you're teaching, with a handful of books related to the theme, related puppets, games, and toys. These are dedicated in memory of Cynthia Hurd and are FREE to check out - a perfect resource for a parent, teacher, Sunday School teacher, etc. We did ask about donating books, DVDs, games, etc., and the librarian told us that for all Charleston County libraries, donations go to the Friends of the Library and not directly to the library. They are then sold and then the money comes back indirectly. In the future, this is something I am definitely going to do as I clean out old books, DVDs, and board games or puzzles. Please see my pictures for more details about the library's offerings!
