When? May 18th 2026, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Where? ImaginOn: The Joe and Joan Martin Center

What? Join us for an evening at the intersection of culinary arts and library advocacy. In a moderated conversation, the city’s first Michelin-starred chef, Sam Hart, will share how storytelling shapes every course they create and why they’re donating a curated collection of culinary books to the new Main Library at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library.

The event will be moderated by Nikki Moore. We’ll also debut our Great Big Story Builders campaign, an ambitious effort to raise $500,000 for the opening day collection at the new Main Library in Uptown to fill the shelves with stories that nourish, inform and inspire our community.

Price: $15
