On January 2, 2025, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library will re-institute parking fees for the ImaginOn underground parking garage.
Each driver must pull a single ticket upon entering the garage. Payment will be collected when the vehicle exits; only credit cards will be accepted. ImaginOn and Children’s Theatre of Charlotte customers can take advantage of the 90-minute free parking provided with a validated parking ticket. ImaginOn & CTC visitors should pull a ticket and get it validated even when the garage is being used for special event parking. The self-validation station will be located inside ImaginOn at the Box Office.
All drivers should keep their ticket in a secure place to use when exiting. The Lost Ticket fee is $45. Any vehicle exiting the parking garage after the garage closes will be charged an $85 fee. Garage hours will be posted. Overnight parking is prohibited; vehicles may be towed at the owner’s expense.
