Yes, the collection of books on hand can be small in comparison to larger…read morelibraries, but I've been surprised by how they seem to have some obscure titles on hand and available. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is the newest, at least to my knowledge, of all of the Charleston County Library buildings…read more This replaces an old dark brick building that stood there for many years and was elevated such that it required you to go up a set of stairs. This new building however is modern, airy and enough windows high up to let in natural light and thus give warmth to the building and its inhabitants. I was there not to check out any books but went straight to the community room where probably 100 people could sit although we probably had 80 people for the safe sanctuary for religious organizations regarding terrorism and loan attackers. The three and a half hours that we all were there were in a comfortable room with a large pull-down screen where laptop computers could cast slides and information up on the large screen. It was an informative meeting made even more special by the wonderful building of this Library location.
