The Charleston FRIENDS of the Library today announced the relocation of its full operations to a temporary new location at Citadel Mall. The organization said the transition was necessitated by the upcoming closure of the Main Library next year for renovations.
Our new location boasts a storefront that features over 2,000 books spanning various genres and age groups, with the collection updated daily. Beginning in July, the group will host special Saturday events to provide the community with additional opportunities to shop.
The organization invites you to participate in their week-long Grand Opening Celebration, featuring giveaways, raffles, and the inaugural Saturday event (the store will be open on June 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Guests can explore a selection of books while supporting local literacy initiatives; proceeds from the store will benefit programs across the 18 branches of the Charleston County Library.
Book Donations
The group is now accepting book donations at the Citadel Mall. You can visit their website for details www.charlestonlibrearyfriends.org/book-donations.
