Meetings and Contacting Members

Library Board meetings are held for the purpose of conducting business necessary for the operations of the public library system in Charleston County. These meetings are scheduled for the 4th Thursday of the month at 5:30 p.m., except where altered by public holiday.

Notice of changes or cancellations will be posted as necessary. Committees and/or special meetings are called on an as-needed basis.

Charleston County provides a Public Comment period prior to each regularly scheduled Board meeting. The total Public Comment period is limited to 30 minutes. A sign in sheet will be available at start of each meeting 30 minutes before the posted time for the meeting to begin. The first 15 people to sign in will be allowed to speak for 2 minutes each. The Board will immediately begin conducting its business at the end of the time allotted for Public Comments.

By signing in, speakers agree to adhere to the Charleston County Public Comments Code of Conduct. As a reminder to citizens, the Board Chair, Trustees, Library Executives or Administrators in attendance at Board Meetings do not engage in discussion during the Public Comment period.

To contact the Board or to submit a Public Comment* by email, send an email to [email protected] or mail a letter to:

Board of Trustees Charleston County Public Library 68 Calhoun Street Charleston, SC 29401

*Public Comments require a First and Last Name, Home Address, and Phone Number be provided at the time they are given or submitted via email. Providing a valid return email address facilitates follow-up communication, if needed.
