What can we do with a little one in Charlotte when it rains?

7 picks this week are indoors, mostly library programs and shows. Tap “Rainy-day OK” in Find your thing.

How do you pick what goes on the list?

We look at venue and library calendars every week and only list things we can confirm on the organizer’s own page. We lean toward things that fit around naps and don’t need a long walk.
