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.

HOW CAN I DONATE BOOKS?
Book donations are currently accepted at all open Library locations. You can drop off a box/bag per day. The back rooms of our libraries are small, so we cannot accept large donations at branches. Please call your local Library before making a book donation to ensure the location can receive your items. Do not leave them outside – rain and bugs are not their friends!
The Library does NOT accept the following items:
- Newspapers
- Magazines
- Encyclopedias
- VHS tapes
- Music CDs
- DVDs
- Albums
The library does accept textbooks, travel guides, and computer books – but they have to be published between 2022 and 2025
Have a large donation? Please contact Kim Arlia at [email protected] or Maurice Huntley at [email protected] for directions to the Library Administration Center (LAC). The LAC operating hours for donations are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.
WHAT HAPPENS TO DONATIONS?
All donations are brought via the library delivery system to the Library Administration Center (LAC). At the LAC, a team of volunteers will go through the donations and determine what will happen to them based on condition, age, and genre. Some may be added to the existing library collection, others may go to various outreach programs, some make their way to the many Free Little Libraries in Mecklenburg County, while others end up at the library book sale or for sale at Thriftbooks.com. Revenue generated by book sales and Thinftbooks.com allows for the procurement of more library materials.
