Branches and Locations for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library

Legalities for Starting a Business

In 2015 the Library, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Mecklenburg County, and the City of Charlotte accepted the White House ConnectED Library Challenge, pledging to provide students with easily accessible information and educational resources.

By the end of 2015, that pledge had become a reality, as more than 100,000 of 147,000 CMS students accessed Library services using their student IDs in an initiative called ONE Access™.  The project continues to grow as more students and more schools join the initiative.

After your virtual library card has been processed by staff, you will have a full-service account that can be used to access all digital materials and resources, to place holds and check out physical items from any branch.  

What is a makerspace? It's a learning environment for people to connect with others and create meaningful projects, using technologies and other tools that might not be easily accessible. Here are three types of maker experiences currently offered at your Library.
