Summer Reading 
No matter what your age, there's a great reason to join Summer Reading at your library. Reading during the summer is fun, plus teachers and literacy experts agree that reading throughout the summer helps students retain skills learned during the school year. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library has summer reading clubs for all ages, from birth to adult. Participants can win fun prizes just for reading. Pre-registration is open now. Summer Reading runs Jun 11- August 9. Learn more.
