A tech-forward, civic destination equipped to meet evolving community needs. It will become a destination, a hub of activity and innovation for the entire Library system, and the gateway and heartbeat to a reimagined North Tryon Street corridor.
What Does The CommonSpark Campaign Support?
New Main Library

Technology, Innovation and Programming
The CommonSpark will ignite change throughout the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library system.
Endowment for the Future
Endowment funds generate a permanent source of revenue to meet the Library's evolving future needs.
Annual Library Operating Support
Annual contributions from the Library Foundation enhance programs, services and outreach each year.
