The world recently mourned the loss of Rev. Billy Graham, Charlotte’s most famous citizen.  We have books by and about Rev. Graham.  This month, we added 2 more. 

 

Charlotte will be turning 250 years old later this year.  Have you or groups you belong to thought of  ways to celebrate?  It is a great time to start planning.  Contributing $250 to your favorite charity, doing 250 hours of volunteer work, getting children to save 250 pennies, helping put together a block party, or organizing a fun event with those you work or meet with on a regular basis are just a few suggestions.  So think big and start a CLT250 celebration plan for you, family, neighbors and friends that is memorable.  Those who had relatives here 250 years ago might want to take some time to share stories of heritage with other family members.  The city will also be sponsoring events, so watch for more news to come about how you can participate.

 

In honor of women’s history month, we added a few titles by women and about women, some a little on the shady and industrious side of femininity!

 

It’s tax season, and you may be looking for stories about companies and their stocks. Have you had relatives who died and may have obituaries in the New York Times?  If so, visit a new online product covering 6/1/1980-present. To access it, please visit cmlibrary.org.  Click on the pink box, “Resources.”  Scroll down until you see “New York Times,” then click on “Access Now.”  You will need to put your library card number in a box when prompted.   There are lots of other resources available with just a click of your mouse, if you have a Charlotte Mecklenburg library card.  Be sure to also check out HeritageQuest, a genealogy web product, which is free with your library card.
