Baker & Taylor Shutting Down

October 28, 2025

 

Earlier this month, several publications reported that the major library book supplier Baker & Taylor is closing its doors. Baker & Taylor is a current supplier of books for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, and we are closely monitoring the situation. Although we have not received official communication from Baker & Taylor regarding a closure, we wanted to inform you of our plans moving forward and let you know what to expect in the coming months regarding new and popular titles.

 

As we learn more about the situation with Baker & Taylor and implement a contingency plan, wait times may increase for new and popular titles. This may also increase the wait times for digital titles. 

 

CML is a nimble organization, and we purchase book titles – physical and digital – from several channels, including major book distribution companies as well as smaller suppliers.  We will continue our practice of exploring additional vendors to ensure you can access the books you want to read at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. 

 

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work through this situation. The Library remains committed to providing customers with a vast collection that covers the topics that are important to you. 

 

Scam Alert: Spoofing Emails

October 29, 2025

Suspicious emails are being sent to Library users by people posing as CML staff. In this imposter scam, a spoofing email appears to be official but originates from external domains, such as gmail.com. The email may also request payment to participate in a program. 

 

Please note that Library electronic communications will come from an email address with the cmlibrary domain.  Every Library employee has an organization email address ending with @cmlibrary.org.

 

Most importantly, CML programs are free. We will not ask any customer or author participating in a program to pay. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation is the only organization directly affiliated with the Library that is authorized to fundraise for the Library and may charge for an event.  In those instances, it is clear that the event is sponsored by the Foundation, and the event will be posted on the Foundation’s website at foundation.cmlibrary.org. 

 

If you suspect you have received a spoofing email like the description above, please contact us at Contact the Library | Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. Also, report gmail.com domain spoofing emails to Google at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8253?hl=en.
