New libraries are slated to open in the coming years across Mecklenburg County. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library board leadership shared their annual report with county commissioners Tuesday, including an update on a trio of new facilities currently under construction or planned for the near future. The new Main Library in uptown is slated to open in the spring, library board Chair Amy Hawn Nelson said.

During chilly Charlotte show, Ed Sheeran talked about almost everything. Almost.
On Friday, the high temperature in Charlotte was north of 90 and it felt like summer was never going to end. But by Saturday night, Bank of America Stadium was filling up for Ed Sheeran’s concert with people who looked like they were steeling themselves for a Panthers game in December. Puffer jackets. Parkas. Ski caps. Hoodies. Just before the show started, I noticed a man sitting in the row behind me blowing into his hands and rubbing them together before the show. “It’s not the warmest day in the world,” Sheeran would later acknowledge. “I mean, for me, as an Englishman, this is our summer, basically. But it’s not the warmest day in the world.” Halfway through his 29-song set, the real-feel temperature would dip into the 40s. Fortunately, the British pop star had brought plenty of fire. Literally. Flames shot up around him during “Don’t,” erupted from towers and turrets during “Give Me Love” and “I See Fire,” and roared again during the finale, “Bad Habits,” which also featured fireworks. On a night this cold, the bursts of flame were almost as welcome as the spectacle, providing a few seconds of actual warmth to fans on the field
