In compliance with the latest Mecklenburg County public health directive, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is moving to reduced operations services January 15-February 2, 2020. During this phase, the Library is limiting its services to grab and go pickups of holds and mobile printing, along with returns at all branch locations, while programming continues online.

What to expect during the Library’s reduced service schedule:
