Charlotte says goodbye to Uptown's main library ahead of new construction

Visitors were allowed to spend one last day at Charlotte's main library in Uptown before it's demolished and a new one is built in its place.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library Foundation is commemorating a major turning point in Uptown history by allowing guests to enjoy the main library before it's torn down and rebuilt. 

It's part of their series of events called "One For The Books" which runs on Nov. 6-7 and Nov. 13-14. But on Friday, visitors had already stopped by the main library in Uptown to capture videos and photos before the building came down to make way for the new main library. 

Construction will soon start on the new building. Two interim Uptown locations will be available for library members. One will be located at Founders Hall and the other will be in the fellowship hall at First United Presbyterian Church.
