The work is just about done, and we’re ready to reopen our doors to you. You’ll notice two major changes:
· Fully renovated restrooms
· Repaved parking lot
This facility was built in 1995, so we completed a few other maintenance items that won’t be as noticeable but are equally important. New furniture for the children’s section will be delivered later this summer, so stay tuned for an even “comfier” area for the little ones.
We can’t wait to see you!

Charlotte Mecklenburg Library’s subscription to Freegal Music will end in August 2025. Customers will continue to have access to digital music through hoopla.
After August 1, 2025, customers will no longer be able to access music that is stored in the Freegal app. In most cases, you can retain access to music you’ve downloaded from Freegal by transferring the downloaded music to another digital library. Playlists created within Freegal cannot be retained.
Instructions for backing up Freegal downloads for Apple and Android users can be found on the Freegal FAQ page. Scroll down to the bottom to see questions that address backing up your music or moving it from your device to a computer. Music previously downloaded to a computer (Mac or PC) should already be contained in a file (s) on your computer, so no further action is needed.
hoopla allows Charlotte Mecklenburg Library customers to instantly borrow more than 400,000 music albums. Customers can access entire music albums on hoopla. Music albums are checked out for 7 days and then are automatically returned to hoopla. Unlike Freegal, you don’t keep the music permanently but borrow it like you would a physical item from the library.
To get started with hoopla, create a hoopla account by clicking “Sign Up Now” on the hoopla site or the hoopla app compatible with your device. Create an account with your email address, password, and library card number.

Join us for Free RPG Day on June 21st from 11am-4pm at our new University City Library location!
Free RPG Day is a world-wide celebration of role-playing games (RPGs). Role-playing games encourage collaboration, storytelling, and imagination as you take on the role of a character in a fictional environment.
Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is celebrating its second year of Free RPG Day. This year’s event will feature sword fighting, costume design (cosplay), and, of course, games! We’re also excited to welcome community partners like the Athena Alliance, the Black Gamer League, and the International Game Developers Association at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte among many others.
New to RPGs? We’ll have workshops where you can make a D&D character and paint a mini-fig. You can even join a game for beginner players or try your hand at sword fighting.
Want to level up your gaming skills? We have a game development workshop and a panel discussion on creating inclusive game spaces. We’ll have lots of gaming tables for you to join – including several different TTRPGs.
Feeling crafty? Join us in our Makerspace to 3D print, use a heat press, or make a button. Craving adventure? Swordwind Historical Martial Arts will present a sword fighting demonstration. There will also be giveaways, information about local gaming organizations, and a gaming lounge!
Whether you are a seasoned gamer or a new adventurer, we hope you’ll enjoy this special celebration of storytelling and exploration! Find all the details here on our calendar.
