Angie Myers has been named chief executive officer of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library following a nationwide search, the library’s board of trustees announced Monday in a press release. 
Myers had served as interim CEO since May 2025 while maintaining her role as chief finance and administration officer. 
“The library board unanimously agreed that Angie is the best candidate for the position,” Board Chair Amy Hawn Nelson said in the statement. 
“We need someone who has the experience and expertise to successfully lead the organization through ever-changing economic, social and political landscapes.” 
According to the release, Myers implemented the library’s three-year strategic plan, supported staff through the executive transition, and kept construction of the system's new Main Library on schedule for its planned opening next spring while serving as interim CEO. 
A certified public accountant, Myers joined Charlotte Mecklenburg Library as finance director in 2013 after holding corporate finance leadership roles at Wells Fargo, Lowe's, Marriott International and KPMG, as well as serving as a division director for Mecklenburg County. 
In her new role, Myers will oversee 21 locations, nearly 500 employees, and a collection of more than 800,000 items. 
“CML has been my professional home for more than a decade,” Myers said in the statement. 
“I believe wholeheartedly in the power of libraries to transform lives, strengthen communities and create opportunity for everyone.” 
Myers holds a bachelor’s degree from James Madison University and a Master of Business Administration from Queens University of Charlotte.
