Special Día programs will be offered online throughout the month of April. We will share a variety of experiences and invite families to engage and learn about different abilities and cultures.

This year, for National Volunteer Week (NVW), which runs this year from April 20-26, we'd like to recognize some of the hands - and even paws - that use their special gifts and talents to help us carry out our mission to improve lives and build a stronger community.

Charlotte Mecklenburg Library operates under the guidance of a volunteer Board of Trustees whose members give generously of their time, talent and support to further the Library's mission. The Board consists of eleven trustees, ten of whom are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and one of whom is appointed by the Board of Education. The Board of Trustees hires, directs and advises the Library CEO, adopts organizational policies and an annual budget, and serves as principal advocate for the organization.
