New Exhibit at Mint Hill Library celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Mint Hill Historical Society (MHHS)

May 21, 2025

This blog was written by Sally Deason, a librarian at Mint Hill Library

 

The Mint Hill Historical Society began in 1985 when a “For Sale” sign appeared in front of an old town building. Since then, buildings have been restored and moved, books have been written and countless tour groups have enjoyed the Carl J. McEwen Historic Village, all made possible by this local group.

On display from now until December, this exhibit shares the story of a local organization created specifically to preserve the history of a quickly changing landscape. Items in our case range from a model for the proposed historic village in 1986, a vintage hat worn by one of the volunteer docents who took tour groups through the schoolhouse, glass bottles from the historic doctor’s office and much more. Articles from local newspapers share details about the formation of the group and notable events in their history. 


Make sure to stop in the Mint Hill Library and celebrate this history with us!

A special thank you to Dawn Funk of the MHHS who spent so much time curating this exhibit and sharing it with our library patrons.

Sugar Creek Library Updates

February 3, 2025

UPCOMING MEETING

We want to know what you think! The new space will be filled with books and great staff. But, we want to know what else needs to go inside the new building and how it can best serve the community.

 

Join us to speak to the designers, and tell us what the new Library needs.

 

Tuesday, May 20
6:00p-8:00p
Sugar Creek Library
4045 N. Tryon St, Charlotte
Refreshments will be served

 

The Library is excited to share that the Sugar Creek branch will be getting a new location and a new building. Work on Sugar Creek will commence in early 2025 and the new building is scheduled to be completed in 2027.

 

The new library will double in size and is planned to be located near the Ella B Scarborough Community Resource Center. The architect selected for this project is Perkins + Will.

 

The Library is looking forward to sharing soon how the community can share thoughts and support for the new branch location.
