The Morrison Regional Library, located near SouthPark Mall in the Morrocroft development, was built in 1991 with funds from bonds approved by voters in 1987. A major renovation in 2001 improved the entrance, provided a more efficient check-out desk, updated technology, and increased the number of PCs available to the public.

Because "SouthPark, NC" is the third largest business district in the state, the branch serves a diverse population of workers who live elsewhere in the Metrolina Region, as well as the neighborhood in southeast Charlotte. Areas of special emphasis include business reference and high school homework help.
Explore the largest print collection in the branch system, 145,000+ volumes, including an in-depth reference collection, large circulating collection of popular fiction and non-fiction for all ages, as well as Audiotape Books, videos, music CDs, CD-ROM software, and rental books and DVDs. 39 PCs are available for adults with word processing, Internet access, and information databases.

The creative and friendly Children's Services staff offers a wealth of programs for children from birth to 12 years of age.
