November 19, 1956 - Charlotte opens its new main library building.
|
 |
| Members of the library staff, like former Library Director Hoyt Galvin, accommodate the African American community privately. However, by law the black community could only use the Brevard St. branch. The Brevard St. branch will close in 1961 and be torn down as part of urban renewal. |

Charlotte's main library building is opened at 310
North Tryon St. on the site where the old Carnegie Library stood, side
by side with the First Baptist Church (now Spirit Square).
