Description
In 1894, Carlisle received the "sum of six thousand dollars with which to erect a brick building for a free public library." The funds were a gift from Mrs. Joanna Gleason, a resident of Sudbury who had grown up in Carlisle. The land on Bedford Road was purchased for the library from Mr. Nathaniel Hutchinson for five hundred dollars. The library building was designed by George G. Adams of Lawrence and built by D. W. Fitch of Billerica. The Gleason Public Library was dedicated on May 13, 1896.
