CHARLESTON, SC – Charleston County Public Library (CCPL) will open the Folly Beach Library, located at 55 Center St, on Monday, May 20. The public is invited to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony beginning at 9 a.m. at the branch.


The Folly Beach Library closed on March 1 of this year to undergo renovations as part of the ongoing $108.5 million referendum-funded project passed by Charleston County voters in 2014 to build five new libraries and renovate all existing branches. Updates included new paint, technology upgrades, and furniture.


The ribbon cutting ceremony will include speakers from the library and Charleston County Government, as well as elected officials. In addition to the ribbon cutting, patrons will have the opportunity to meet the branch staff, take pictures with CCPL’s mascot Owlbert, explore the branch, and more.


The Folly Beach Library is located inside the town Community center, which was built in the 1960s with a dual-purpose design as a meeting space and a branch library. Prior to this location, the library was housed within the Folly Town Hall.
