Hi All, The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Library provides an excellent history of the county on-line at their website. There are two ways to get to the history pages: Visit the Mecklenburg NCGenWeb main page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncmeckle, go to the history section and click on the link to "Public Library". Or, go to http://www.cmstory.org Once there, you may want to explore the entire Library offerings. Regards, Paul Buckley, Mecklenburg county NCGenWeb coordinator and NCMECKLE listowner
