The club is active today and is a member of the Utah State Federation of AVomcn's clubs. The Women's Civic club or-ganized in 1907 has a record of numerous notable achievements. This club does charitable work, for many years having distribut-ed Thanksgiving baskets and raising funds for many projects. The club has done a great deal to foster more ideal play grounds and play supervision for the chil-dren in summer time. It was "through the Civic club that we first hear of interest In a library. In the town record of March 10, 1920, we find the fol-lowing entry: "Mrs. A. C. Cole, Mrs. Ed. Heather and Mrs. Thom-as Nerdin of the Women's club appeared before the board in re-lation to the establishment of a public lbrary, and asked for the board's aid in the establishment of such a library. The town au-thorized the construction of ne-cessary shelving in a room given by the Commercial club and oth- - W W WWW erwise agreed to assist in the furnishing and equipping of said room." The Women's club asked the citizens to donate books to the library and Boy Scouts went ut town gathering up such do-nations. The club raised funds for the purchase of some books and though the final collection was small and certainly diversi-fied, it was a beginning. As there was no space availa-ble for reading rooms, the libra-ry was open only two evenings a week, at which time books could be taken out. Mrs. Nerdin and Mrs. Cole acted as librarians for eight years, rendering their ser-vices gratis. January 25, 1928, at the re-quest Tf the club a special mu-nicipal election was held to de-cide: "shall the town of Bing-ham establish and maintain a free public library, and levy a tax of one mill on the dollar for the purpose of maintaining the same?" The result of the election was 98 against and 17 for the estab-lishment of the library. This was very discouraging to the Wom-en's club, Irut the town board agreed to give the club $30 a www - I month to help maintain a library. Also the court room was parti-tioned and one room of the space given for the use of a library. The ladies donated $10 for "the purchase of new books and a li-brarian was paid $5 a month for her services. During the depress-ion year the town had to reduce its financial aid to $15 a month, which is the amount given for library purposes at present. . There are now one thousand books in the library which num-ber is frequently augmented by the Women's Civic club. -- A com-mittee of three ladies is appoint-ed to select and purchase new books each year. The club has at present a large membership, women who have served as presidents of the club include Mrs. J. B. Myers, Mrs. A. "C Cole, Mrs. Eugene Morris, Mrs. Eugene Chandler, Mrs. Will Meyers, Mrs. Bert Rob-erts, Mrs. James Nerdin, Mrs. Edwin Johnson, Mrs. Theo Ches-le- r, Mrs. C. L. Countryman, Mrs. Joe Kemp, Mrs. W. H.
