About this Event
The Charleston Library Society is a cultural institution for life-long learning, serving its members, the Lowcountry community and scholars through access to its rich collection of books, historic manuscripts and archival material and programs promoting discussion and understanding of the ideas they contain.
The collections of the Library Society stretch from the 15th century to the modern-day and include materials from around the world. The Society paved the way for the founding of the College of Charleston in 1770 and provided the core collection of natural history artifacts for the founding of the Charleston Museum (the first in America) in 1773.
We welcome visitors and guests for a tour of our historic Main Reading Room - offering an overview of the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries of our history as well as a view into our featured exhibits that change seasonally.
