August is here, and with this onset comes a brand-new school year, often with shiny school supplies, fresh uniforms, clothes and even a new pair of shoes if you’re lucky. For many of us this year, the back-to-school rush and necessities look different as school-age children will mostly return to school in a virtual setting. This presents new challenges. While you may not buy new uniforms or a new backpack this year, you still need to prepare for what’s ahead and the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is here to support all your back to school needs.

Virtual Learning Opportunities

Did you know that the Library provides a multitude of virtual learning programs to enrich your child’s academic and social skills? The calendar is filled weekly with school-age programming you can enjoy from anywhere! If your child can’t make the live programs, you can find them archived online at your convenience. You’ll find many pre-recorded programs to enjoy too! Some sample program titles include: Make Your Own Animation, Magical Creature Book Talk and even Fireworks in a Glass. Invite your child to view our specialized content to elevate and extend their learning. Virtual programming is not limited to children in elementary schooler, it’s available for all age groups. Teens can join in writing groups, book clubs, trivia sessions and gaming sessions such Dungeons and Dragons. While you get into your back-to-school routine, be sure to join a group and meet new friends.

ONE Access and Curated Lists by Grade Level

Every child in the Charlotte Mecklenberg School system can use their student ID number as their Library card number – this is called a ONE Access ID number (the pin number is your child’s birth year). Yes, you heard that right! It’s called ONE Access, or One Number Equals Access, and it makes it very convenient for your child to place books on hold or check out digital resources. Our Library staff have even created curated lists for students to read by grade level. Check them out here: Elementary, Middle and High School. Your child’s ONE Access ID number doesn’t just limit them to books. There are many e-resources to utilize such as Tutor.com (up to 10 free, live homework tutoring sessions each week), Mango Languages (learn a new language) and Freegal music (for any planned or unplanned dance party breaks!). The possibilities are endless with free learning resources offered through your Library.

Educational Support

The Library is committed to improving lives and building a stronger community – a lofty goal as evidenced by our commitment to programming and helping your child prepare for their next step beyond high school. Library branches offer one-on-one weekly virtual appointments with teens to discuss how to successfully plan for the future. Library staff members can connect your high schooler with resources to plan for a potential job or college process, including financial aid and scholarship opportunities. One-on-one virtual appointments are available daily for elementary schoolers as well for Reading Buddies, tutoring and enrichment! Feel back-to-school ready knowing your local Library will support your child’s learning beyond the (virtual) classroom.

Parent Learning Opportunities

Getting ready for the start of a new school year is not limited to children. Parents and caregivers can get back-to-school ready by learning something new too! Virtual caregiver classes are offered for a variety of age levels (children ages 2-5, students in grades K-5). Learn how to read WITH your child, and improve your child’s language, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Classes are also offered on how to access our digital Library resources for virtual learning. Build your confidence and meet other caregivers just like you- we're all in this together!

While the return to school this year presents new challenges, it also presents new opportunities. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is prepared to meet this challenge with you, fully equipped and ready to provide you and your school-age child with an opportunity to learn and grow. Take advantage of the opportunities that await you and your children this school year!

"This was my favorite storytime because you look like me!” Ella exclaimed. “And the girls we read about look like me."

In a world where little Black girls don’t often see themselves reflected in mainstream media and art, something special happened on June 19, 2020. That something was when Tiffany Howard’s eldest daughter felt represented through literature and connected with her University City Regional Library Reading Buddy, Annese.

 As the world continues to turn, caught somewhere between reeling and reviving itself from the coronavirus pandemic, the Howard family, like many Charlotte Mecklenburg Library customers, find themselves pivoting to new, virtual ways to enjoy their neighborhood Library. For Tiffany, the gratitude runs deep.

A Charlotte native, psychologist for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, wife and mother to two growing and glowing girls, Ella and Zora (a third grader and first grader, respectively), Tiffany recalls the impact the public library had on shaping her own love for reading while providing her access to an additional education. “The library has always been important to me,” said Howard. “I was excited to pick up books that I’d read while sitting under the cart while my mom did her grocery shopping,” she added.



Literacy and learning weren’t reserved solely for visits to her beloved North Branch Public Library (which opened in 1957 and served the Beatties Ford Road neighborhood) or trips to the grocery store. Reading was also important in her home and to her family. Even her brother would find delight in reading all the books on their great grandmother’s bookshelf. For Tiffany, reading was about self-discovery, and it still is. “We are intentional about finding books that represent our girls, our family, their beauty and our culture,” she said.

Today, Tiffany advocates for public libraries as vital, cultural institutions that provide integral resources to the communities they serve – resources from which she and her family continue to benefit. “We started with baby storytime, then we’d go afterschool to check out books,” she said. “Next, we moved to the Reading Buddies program in person and, now, online,” she added.

To others in the community, Tiffany finds herself recommending Library resources – from digital to programming to events, including storytimes, ABCmouse digital resource, the ONE Access program for CMS students and cultural events like the Library’s Black History Month Literary Festival. At that festival in February 2020, Ella received a custom drawing of herself from illustrator Gordon C. James, which is now displayed in her room. Tiffany also attended an Active Reading training a few years ago, which helped her husband develop skills to actively read with their daughters, further deepening their appreciation for library services.

Tiffany sees libraries as equalizers: they are a place for everyone, from all walks of life, and a space to learn and to belong. “Education is the most important tool to change the world and the library makes that possible for all,” she stated. “Libraries promote language, literacy, learning and more.”

Tiffany describes her daughters as artsy and creative and believes one of the most important things she can leave them with is a passion for reading and a legacy of learning. “It feels good, as a parent and an educator, to know that even when school is out my girls want to go to the Library,” she said.

As for the Reading Buddy session from June, Tiffany said Ella was grateful for the interaction, one-on-one time and the opportunity to see herself represented in a whole new way. “It made her feel special to talk to someone who selected a book and took time to read with her – who just so happened to look like her, too.”

The Queen City is the 17^th largest city in the United States and we welcome more than 42 new residents every single day, according to U.S. Census data. Some come from across the state, others from across the country and some are even from across the world. To support our growing community, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library celebrates National Welcoming Week from September 11-20.   

In support of our Library’s guiding principle to be a welcoming place to all, we chose the following four book titles to examine and celebrate the experiences of those new to our beautiful city. There is a book for every age group and each title was chosen to provide access to as many people as possible.

Each title is available in English and Spanish and may be borrowed in a variety of formats.

Preschool (Ages 3-7)

The Day You Begin

Written by Jacqueline Woodson

(English, Spanish, e-book, e-audiobook)

A lyrical picture book that describes those moments when a child may be marked as different or an outsider from their classmates. This might be because of the color of their skin, their clothes, their accent, an intellectual disability or even something as small as what they eat. The beautiful illustrations created by Rafael López give us a whimsical view of how to shape personal connections when we feel all alone in the world.

School Age (Ages 8-11)

My Name is Maria Isabel by Alma Flor Ada

(English, Spanish e-book)

Maria Isabel, called Mary by her teacher, just moved to the United States from Puerto Rico. She wants nothing more than to fit in with her classmates despite their differences. The author does a compelling job of capturing Maria’s special connection to family and the many anxieties faced as the new kid in school.

Teens (Ages 12-17)

The Only Road; The Crossroads

Alexandra Diaz

(English, Spanish, e-audiobook)

The Only Road is an award-winning book inspired by true events about escaping violence and moving to America to find a better life. In the sequel, The Crossroads, the main characters discover what it means to live as undocumented immigrants in the United States, while news from home gets increasingly worse.

 Adults (Ages 18 and up)

Americanah

Ngozi Adichie

(English, Spanish, e-book, e-audiobook, large print, Spanish e-book)

Ifemelu and Obinze meet and fall in love as teenagers in Lagos, Nigeria. After graduating, both set off for independent adventures in different countries. How will their experiences as immigrants change them forever? And when, years later, they meet again, will they be the same people they once were?

Charlotte Mecklenburg Library celebrates newcomers to Charlotte all year long through its #WelcomeCLT initiative. The purpose of #welcomeCLT is to provide new residents (with an emphasis on international newcomers) with information and resources about their new community. The WelcomeCLT.org page provides information for new residents and each Library branch is equipped with an information kiosk full of information about their new community. Customers are also encouraged to browse the calendar for upcoming virtual programs specifically designed to ease the transition into our great city.

La ciudad reina es la decimoséptima ciudad más grande de los Estados Unidos y da la bienvenida a más de 42 nuevos residentes cada día, según datos del censo EE.UU. Algunos provienen de todo el estado, otros de todo el país y algunos incluso son de todo el mundo. Para apoyar a nuestra comunidad en crecimiento, la Biblioteca de Charlotte Mecklenburg celebra la semana nacional de bienvenida del 11 al 20 de septiembre.

Siguiendo los lineamientos que nuestra institución establece de abrir sus puertas a todas las poblaciones, elegimos los siguientes cuatro títulos de libros para examinar y celebrar las experiencias de los nuevos residentes en nuestra hermosa ciudad. Hay un libro para cada grupo de edad y cada título se eligió para brindar acceso a la mayor cantidad de personas posible.

Cada título está disponible en inglés y español y se puede pedir prestado en una variedad de formatos.

Preescolar (de 3 a 7 años)

El Día en que Descubres Quién Eres

Escrito por Jacqueline Woodson

(Disponible en inglés y español, y como libro electrónico y audiolibro electrónico)

Un libro de imágenes líricas que describe esos momentos en los que un niño puede ser etiquetado como diferente o extraño a sus compañeros de clase. Esto puede deberse al color de su piel, su ropa, su acento, una discapacidad intelectual o incluso algo tan pequeño como lo que comen. Las hermosas ilustraciones creadas por Rafael López nos dan una visión peculiar de cómo crear conexiones personales cuando nos sentimos completamente solos en el mundo.

Edad escolar (de 8 a 11 años)

Me llamo Maria Isabel

Escrito por Alma Flor Ada

(Disponible en inglés y español y como libro electrónico)

María Isabel, llamada María por su maestra, se acaba de mudar a los Estados Unidos desde Puerto Rico. Lo que más desea es encajar con sus compañeros de clase a pesar de sus diferencias.

La autora hace un trabajo convincente al capturar la conexión especial de María con la familia y la gran ansiedad que enfrenta como la nueva niña en la escuela.







 

Adolescentes (de 12-17 años)

El único destino​; La encrucijada

Escrito por Alexandra Diaz

(Disponible en inglés y español y como audiolibro electrónico)

El único destino​ es un libro galardonado inspirado en hechos reales sobre cómo escapar de la violencia y mudarse a Estados Unidos para encontrar una mejor vida. En la secuela, La encrucijada, los protagonistas descubren lo que significa vivir como inmigrantes indocumentados en Estados Unidos, mientras las noticias desde casa empeoran cada vez más.









 

Adultos (de 18 años en adelante)

Americanah

Escrito por Ngozi Adichie

(Disponible en inglés y español y como libro electrónico, audiolibro electrónico, letra grande y libro electrónico en español)  

Ifemelu y Obinze se conocen y se enamoran durante su adolescencia en Lagos, Nigeria. Después de graduarse, partieron independientemente a diferentes países. ¿De qué manera sus experiencias como inmigrantes cambiarán sus vidas para siempre? Y cuando, años después, se reencuentren, ¿Serán las mismas personas que alguna vez fueron?



 

La Biblioteca de Charlotte Mecklenburg con orgullo celebra y da la bienvenida a las personas recién llegadas a Charlotte durante todo el año a través de su iniciativa #WelcomeCLT.
