The first City librarian, the late Mrs. Fred Marshall was a charter member of the club, gave her time and thought without «num eration to the library the first few years cf its existance. After the starting of the civic club one of its first acts was tc ai.su me a part of the expense of the library and for many years now has given fifty dollars each year to wards its upkeep. Besides each year I a day was set aside when members j renewed and repaired damaged books and in other ways lent their aid to this work For many years, until the city grew too large, members sponsored and prepared annual dinners that did much to bind the community to gether and to provide a common meeting place for every one. There were other and Daughter banquets, and thos for father and sons, and many others. They procured outside talent for entertainment for the whole community as well as for their I own meetings.
