Mecklenburg County, including CPCC, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, and Communities in Schools, is working together to provide children in CMS Achievement Zone Schools with books. Studies have shown how important books in the home can be to improving reading skills and fostering a lifelong love of reading.

As a part of this effort, the public library has arranged for a Book Fair with Barnes & Noble Bookstores April 21st through 27th. A percentage of the total purchases will be returned to the public library to purchase books to distribute to CMS students before the end of the school year. Purchases must be made with the voucher found here. Please feel free to forward this on to family and friends!

If you are interested in purchasing books to donate to the book drive, a list of suggested titles is located here. Any donated materials can be sent to Jennifer Arnold, Central Campus Library, LR 406.

Look for more information on the book drive coming soon!
