I especially appreciate the outdoor book drop--you can return books even when the library is closed. Signing up for a library card was straightforward and easy. The library offers printing for a small fee and has many computers available for free public use. There are plenty of tables throughout the space, both in the center and along the sides, making it a great place for independent work or studying. There's also a clearly separated children's book area, which helps keep the space organized and family-friendly. Right when you walk in, you can browse retired library books for sale at a steep discount--often just $1--which is such a fun bonus. My favorite feature is how easy it is to order books online and place them on hold--they'll text you as soon as your book is ready for pickup, which is incredibly convenient. Overall, a well-run, accessible library that makes great use of its space and services. Highly recommend.

Great park playground!!

The playground itself had a rope course, zip line, swings, and a younger kid playground area. There are also swings with a variety of styles. The playground is separately fenced in and beside a large swing and grass zone that is beautiful, but seems to be the spot for the homeless population. I did not want to take pictures of them to show the amount- but it was roughly 70% of that area filled with them. I don't think this should keep you from visiting though. We had a great experience at the park and our children had a lot of fun on the playground.

The staff is very nice. They are helpful whenever I have a question. They work well with the public.read more

This museum is a great stop. They feature two different artists in two different galleries. One…read moredownstairs and one upstairs. It's very small but it's free. Most of the art is available for purchase and they have a price list at the front desk. Both collections we browsed were exceptional and very good choices. They rotate the artists about every 3 months so if you vacation here once a year you will see new art each visit. They have a gift shop with small items. One of my favorites were "mini-vases", all handmade and cute for about $10 each. Perfect for putting small plants in or adding some handmade decorations to your house. The outside area is stunning. Parking is very limited, probably only 10 spaces. You will drive under some live oaks to park which is very serene. They have a very quiet tea room with a view of the ocean. If I was local I would come here to work for a few hours each week. There is one sculpture on the lawn showcasing ocean plastic litter. Skip those plastic straws and drink out of the cup like a man lol. I would like to see more sculptures or statues on the lawn in the future, make the outdoor area more about art. I definitely recommend stopping here if you enjoy art. I will visit each time I'm in the area.

What a gem! We took a family vacation in January and needed to incorporate some educational…read moreexperiences into our trip. This gallery was suggested and I'm glad we checked it out! We had a group of ten, so I reached out to the museum (as on their site it recommends doing so for groups of ten or more). We were able to schedule a group tour and art activity for $5 per person! But we also would have been free to just visit the museum on our own. The museum is housed in a beach house that was actually moved to the current location from further up the coast. It is a beautiful building with a more modern add on that houses the offices and studios. There is a gorgeous sunporch with games and puzzles that you can enjoy while there. The museum always has two digital exhibits. When we were there it was two South Carolina artists with extremely different styles. One was batik and nature scenes that were full of beautiful color. The other was more modern/abstract and used some interesting layering techniques. The museum educator gave us great information about each artist along with information about some of the museum's permanent collections and history of the museum and building. When we were done with our tour, we were able to make our own batik designs which used white wax crayons and watercolor to design whatever we wanted. It was really fun to get creative in this beautiful space! Overall this is a lovely place to visit. The museum is free but they do accept donations. You won't spend a ton of time here, but it is a great place to spend an hour or so, especially on a rainy or cold day.

My friend went here years ago and I am amazed at how much it the population has grown.

When I say a little I mean literally a little, this campus was designed to be easily walkable.

It has a single door secured with an eye hook and is on a single post. It is a mostly quiet street so it is easy to pull over and browse the library. Inside, two shelves partly stocked with books. Mostly thrillers so my addition of a couple more will be helpful as I'm clearing out some space from my own library. I was tempted by the Clancy but I already have enough to read right now. This is charter number 91072 and the steward has their email address on the listing. The online caption reads, "A resident and former kindergarten teacher from our neighborhood suggested that the Southwood Community establish a "Little Free Library". After approaching the Home Owners Association for approval, two extremely resourceful men in our community designed and build our two lending libraries strategically placed near the community swimming pools. Our mission is to inspire the love of reading into the residents of the Southwood Community." [Review 19393 overall - 967 in South Carolina - 363 of 2023.]
