I stopped by this library a few weeks ago for a book sale and had the best time!! I arrived right…read moreat 9am when the sale started and it was jam packed! It's so nice to see I'm not the only bookie out here lol. The parking was easy and organized. The book sale itself was packed but they had so many wonderful volunteers helping to steer the crowd, it was pretty seamless. They even had volunteers walking around asking if they could take your books and put them on a table to hold for you so you could keep shopping comfortably. it was great! The library has multiple stories and was very clean and quiet. I will absolutely be back soon!!

Mike was the Keynote speaker the first day of the Duro-Last seminar this year at Disney. With over…read more1500 sales people and a lot of money invested in the seminar Duro-Last picked exactly the right speaker when they chose Mike. He related to the audience in a way I have seldom seen and made a very tough audience laugh and feel at home. His points were hard hitting and to the point and delivered in a way that we will all remember . I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a keynote speaker.

I went here yesterday to make copies of contract-related material. I went back today to scan those…read moresame documents. I thought I could scan at home but couldn't, and the Huntersville library is closed for renovations. On my first day here (yesterday), I watched a man on a computer sneeze directly into his hands and continue typing, I walked by a little girl who coughed twice loudly without covering her mouth, and I accidentally dropped my change so all the coins went rolling under the bookshelves. I literally got on my hands and knees to search and collect the change--they were quarters! Today I went back and let the librarian know that I hadn't scanned anything in years. I pretended I was dumb so she would walk me through it. It worked. Very seamless experience. Prior to finishing this review, I just received an email reply from the person I'm sending this info to. That email reads: "Thanks, Tyler (my pen name). All that's missing now is a copy of a voided check." Back to the library!

Coming up to the building you would never of thought it would be in a almost residential area. The…read moreparking lot is small and the outside of the library look big but it's small on the inside. The registration was easy but the girl who registered us didn't explained much and didn't say much unless asked she didn't give us any information at all. The selection is ok it's a little bit of everything. There's different area for computer uses some room for learning experiences and there's some kids activity and computer.

This is a very small branch of the Mecklenburg County library system, but the staff were super…read morenice. There are a couple of spots to sit and read, a few spots for tutoring and a bunch of books. Of course, free wifi and there is a public restroom here. You're not going to find much for quiet as it's really just one large room. Lots of free parking, too. [Review 12630 overall, 2422 of 2019.]

A tantrum by my toddler led us to "taking a break" on the porch of the Charlotte Mecklenburg…read moreLibrary. After she calmed down we had some time to kill before her mama returned with the car. We decided to go inside and check out the public library. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is a library that looks and feels a lot like the ones I grew up with. When you enter the checkout desk/librarian area is right in front of you. On your left is the adult area of the library. On the right is the children's section. We hung a right and went to explore the kids stuff. There were shelves and shelves of books and magazines for kids to check out. There were a few on display around the area as well. One corner contained some toys and comfy chairs. My daughter, and some other child that she met while there, grabbed the toys and arranged them for a little story time. She then brought me a dozen or so books to read to her, her "friend" and the toys. We read through each one of them. The two of us then took a walk around the rest of the kid's area. Another corner contained more comfortable seating that were portable so kids could move them to a spot of their liking. There were three or four computers lining the far wall that kids could use for various things. Stretching across the front of the kids area were tables and chairs that were occupied by tutors and students. Overall I felt that the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library was an a-ok place to spend a rainy afternoon. Why not more? Well, like I said, it reminded me a lot of the libraries of yesteryear. In our hometown, Tampa, we have some absolutely gorgeous libraries which not only house books and magazines and DVDs and CDs but also house tons of technology and legos and hands-on learning opportunities and museums and local art. They also put on performances and offer educational classes and spearhead recycling initiatives and basically make the library a vibrant part of the local learning community. These are gold standard libraries. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library isn't bad, it just stands a couple notches below what I've seen a library can be at its absolute best.

I have been very pleased with the tutoring that my son has been getting. Not only has the…read moreexperience been academically successful but his confidence level has been raised. The best review has come in the form of my son's acknowledgement that the tutoring has been helpful and that he wants to continue on with the support.

I recently had my homeschooled student tested here. Their version of the Woodcock Johnson test is…read morevery different from the ones we've had before. First, there is no General Academic Knowledge section of the test given (for students over 3rd grade). Second, there is a "fluency" score which is a measure of how fast they perform certain portions of the test. It was very distracting to my student that the tester was turning on and off an timer. Overall, I do not think this was a positive testing experience and my student's scores are not an accurate reflection of what he knows.
