Excerpt:
Cuts to libraries: Three of the library's 24 branches - Belmont Center, Carmel and Checkit Outlet - will close indefinitely Saturday, and others may follow. Library officials await word on how much money, if any, Mecklenburg's six towns will give to the system. The city of Charlotte chipped in $1.4 million to help save branches and services. Library trustees are expected to decide June 24 what will stay open.
