History of the Library

A library in Charlotte was first established on November 19, 1894 when the Common Council levied a tax of 1/2 mil to provide a free public library and reading room to residents. After many years in rental spaces, a committee was appointed to contact Andrew Carnegie for help in establishing a permanent   library. In 1903 the new library building, a gift of Andrew Carnegie, was opened to the public.

 

Space in the library building began to grow tight. In 1986 The Charlotte Library Project, Inc. was formed to seek out a new location for the public library and one year later a new building was purchased.  The new building was formerly a Felpausch Grocery Store so major renovations were necessary. Renovations began in 1990 and were finally completed in April 1994. The new building became open to the public in September 1994.

The Charlotte Community Library Board of Trustees will be hosting a Special Meeting on Tuesday, March 19th, 2024 for the public interviews of the current Library Director candidates. These interviews will be conducted at 6:00pm in the Library's Spartan Room and the public is invited to attend.
