Local Bookstores Band Together To Help Mecklenburg County Libraries

Local Bookstores are joining forces to help cash-strapped libraries in Mecklenburg County.

Eighteen local bookstores will team up for a book fair the first week of August to help raise money for libraries to buy new books.

Last month, library leaders announced that branches would operate only four days a week and only eight hours a day.

Mecklenburg County, the City of Charlotte and five local towns agreed to pitch in and make a one-time payment to keep more branches open.
