Charlotte County’s main library to remain closed indefinitely

PORT CHARLOTTE — Just 11 days before Hurricane Ian worked Port Charlotte over, Mid-County Regional Library tech Charles Meyer posted a video tour of his workplace.

Meyer showed off a lineup of "Staff Pick" books, an up-to-date DVD collection, a Maker Space with 3D printer and an open-air atrium where visitors read on park benches.
