The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library has a lot to offer this month! This month we are focusing on self-care and emotion regulation at the Library, an extremely beneficial skill for students and caregivers. We also continue to focus on our Black Lives Matter programming, with additional programs for Black History month this February. Visit the calendar by clicking below to join events such as Parent Lunch and Learn sessions, which occur weekly at the Library for parents to practice a little self-care by connecting with

One program in particular to highlight is our weekly “i can read Black stories” Storytime, available every Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. This Storytime features books that center around characters who are Black or people of color, offers strategies to foster conversations about equity and inclusivity, and encourages early literacy skill development and a love of books and reading in your child.
