Cynthia Graham Hurd/St Andrews Library — Attraction in Charleston

The building is awesome, yes. Over a good span of time, unsettling experiences, mainly its about the lack of treatment of diversity. To explain that furthermore, it's like a difference in actions of racial bias- the staff who's Caucasian seems to only treat that same group with sincere care along with ignoring the uneasiness of same group that visits. With experiencing and seen/ witness different situations that could be handled professionally.

This library has so much to offer the community! The setting is lovely, and the building is very accessible to all. There are large tables inside for group work, studying, or reading.

Do NOT let fines dissuade you from going to the library because there are NOT any charges! 😊 Owning your own LIBRARY CARD entitles you to a plethora of goodies online! If you enjoy AUDIBLE BOOKS, this is the BEST WAY to get them! ...Music and movies and comic books too, either in person or online (through HOOPLA). ...LIBBY (Overdrive's new version) is the best for audio books because you can keep them for 14 days, have up to 5 audiobooks checked out at any time, and use them offline. St. Andrew's Branch library in West Ashley is top notch! It has everything you could want right there. Plus, the vibe is very...

The staff at Cynthia Graham Hurd library are awesome. They are always ready to help me, whether it's with the copying system, using the computer for research, or questions about my cell phone.

He cares about his patrons, and it shows. Thanks to the...
