The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation welcomes the partnership of Charlotte’s philanthropic community as we continue to expand one of our region’s most popular fundraising events: Verse & Vino.

Verse & Vino has become one of Charlotte’s most anticipated fundraising events. New York Times bestselling authors share their books, their process, and most of all the joy of libraries with readers and Library supporters. The evening features a seated dinner, program, book sales, signing, and mingling with authors over vino in vignettes straight from the pages of each featured title.

Last year’s event attracted over 1,100 live viewers locally and around the country, and netted over $250,000 which directly supported Charlotte Mecklenburg Library’s mission to improve lives and build a stronger community. This year goals include:

Attract five major New York Times best-selling authors

Attract 1,300 attendees

Raised more than $500,000 for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library

Verse & Vino is possible with the generous support of our philanthropic community.
