Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library director Charles Brown cautioned during a visit to Davidson last week that maintaining the library system in its current form could be difficult given the county’s continuing budget problems. So county officials hope a newly appointed task force can come up with some long-term answers. The 17-member Future of the Library Task Force begins meeting Oct. 20.
Chairing the volunteer task force is Jim Woodward, former chancellor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Davidson Town Board member Connie Wessner has been picked to represent north Mecklenburg.

Fifteen years ago, Davidsonians dedicated a new public library branch on the Village Green. When library supporters gathered Wednesday to mark the anniversary, the celebration was as much about community as it was about books or a building. And that sense of community is as strong in 2010 as it was in 1995, Mayor John Woods told about three dozen people at a reception Wednesday evening.
