Volunteerism and community involvement are exemplified in Carlisle. The Gleason Public Library, a community center for many Carlisle residents, has always depended on and benefited from the ongoing involvement and support of the people of Carlisle.
The Library has an ongoing need for regular shelvers, and can also use help for special projects including weeding the landscaping, organizing items on the shelves, and assisting behind the scenes with recycling and book preparation. Indeed, a great way to volunteer is to work with the Friends on their projects.
Carlisle homeowners age 60 and up may also apply to help at the Library through the Carlisle Senior Tax Worker program, which enables senior residents to provide services to a municipal department in exchange for a property tax reduction of up to $1,500 per year. To learn more about this program and how to apply, please visit the Carlisle Council on Aging and Human Services website or call COAHS at 978-371-2895.
