Each organization, and its brand(s), has a story. And in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library system, we are its authors. We are a trusted, collaborative and passionate group of curators, connectors, and enablers. What our customers and community seek, we help find, whether that be information or resources for education, work, or pleasure. We have the purpose and privilege of equalizing and improving the lives of all our citizens and advancing our community through trusted content, knowledge, and connections. We are the keepers of our history and the gateway to the future. We improve lives and connect the communities in our system, creating a contagious joy that fuels our mission. In all that we do, we help write the next chapter for Mecklenburg County so that together, we move FOREWORD.
