Charleston County Public Library (CCPL) has partnered with three groups to provide free tax preparation assistance at several of its branches through April.
โTax preparation can be challenging and stressful, and many people canโt afford to pay for professional help,โ Karli Gallagher, CCPLโs adult system coordinator said in a press release. โBy working with these partner organizations, weโre excited to be able to offer patrons safe, convenient and, most importantly, free assistance at many of our libraries throughout the County.โ
