History of the Library

The New Carlisle Public Library was organized more than 90 years ago by The Progress Club, a group of women dedicated to improving themselves and the town. The women gave of their time and services to maintain a reading room over the Corner Drug Store. The Reading Room moved to various locations throughout downtown New Carlisle.
