About Us...

Friends of the Library is a group of individuals volunteering to help to preserve, support and strengthen the Carlisle Public Library. Our members consist of enthusiastic library users and supporters who believe in the importance of the library as a social and intellectual center in the community. The purpose of the Friends of Library group is not only to provide additional financial

support for the library and its programs, but also to create awareness and appreciation for the library within our community. Friends also sponsors special events, and raises additional money to purchase a variety of items not funded by the regular library budget. The purpose of the Friends are as follows:
• To create public support for an expanding library program.
• To encourage gifts, endowments, and memorials for the library.
• To work for library legislation or appropriations.
• To intensify community awareness and use of the library.
• To campaign for a new building or the modernization and expansion of an existing building.
• To sponsor programs designed to add to the cultural life of the community.
• To aid in public relations by:
--- Informing the community about the library’s services and problems
--- Communicating the needs of the community to the staff and library board
--- Calling public attention to the outstanding achievements of the staff.

Hey Friends! Our fall book sale is scheduled for October. We have the freshly revamped American Legion in Carlisle booked 10/23-10/25. In an effort to maximize our use of rental, I’m looking for 3-5 volunteers to help Thursday, 10/23 anytime between 9am - 4pm to set up for a pre-sale that evening. Then a couple of volunteers to work the presale that evening from 5-7pm. Please reply to this post if you’re willing to commit. Volunteer coverage will determine if we can open the presale that night. Thank you for being a friend!
