Located at 5528 Waters Edge Village Drive, University City Regional Library serves northeast Charlotte and one of the fasted growing areas for business, healthcare, and academia in Mecklenburg County – University City. This library first opened its doors to the public on February 14, 1993. In 1999, to accommodate rapid community growth, the library closed for five months to expand the facility to nearly 25,000 square feet – making it 60% larger than its original size.
The University City Regional Library is one of the most visited libraries in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library system. In February 2025 UCRL opened its brand new facility less than a mile from the previous facility on Waters Edge Village Drive, in the new Waters Edge development along JW Clay Boulevard.
