James Island's library, I have found, has one of the smallest selections of books out of all the Charleston County Public Libraries (CCPL), however, they are able to get any of the CCPL's holdings via interlibrary loan, which can then be picked up at the James Island branch and returned there. I appreciate that convenience. I also like using the website to order interlibrary loan books.
The library has a pleasant atmosphere, although the actual building itself is small, especially compared to the new downtown library. There are usually open spots on the computers to use the internet. The staff is friendly and helpful.
