Progress at Marion Square
Marion Square, Charleston, SC
This hole in the ground used to be our downtown library. It will be a hotel and will be a big change for the area. I am looking forward to having something lively there after having a closed building and construction site for so long. I go up in the Francis Marion parking garage to keep an eye on the progress.
We are still building libraries and still debating how they should be used. Tricky thing now with so many people using digital media. I used to love libraries but rarely go now. I even download my books from the library for free.
I really missed it when this one closed because I lived a few blocks from it. It was in my quick walking range and I would carry home armfuls of books.

One hopes the old library has just moved into new digs.
I agree with William Kendall. It's never a good thing to lose a library.
There is a new library, and a very nice one it is, just down the street.
Oh, it did! We have a large new library.
