Renovated library in McClellanville set for May 17 opening

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A renovated library in McClellanville will soon be open to the public.

Charleston County Public Library (CCPL) will cut the ribbon on the Baker Street branch during a ceremony planned for Friday morning.

Library leaders say the McClellanville Library branch closed in December 2023 to undergo refurbishment as part of an ongoing $108.5 million referendum-funded project passed by Charleston County voters in 2024.

The purpose of that referendum was to build five new libraries and renovate all existing branches.

Updates to the overhauled library will include new paint, carpet, and furniture.

Guests will have an opportunity to explore the library, meet with staff, and take pictures with CCPL’s mascot Owlbert during the ceremony.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 10:00 a.m.
