	Everett Woman's Book Club Title Everett Woman's Book Club Subject (TGM) Women; Clubs; Libraries; Group Portraits; Parties Description On June 10, 1894, a group of local women met in the home of Mary Lincoln Brown to form a women's book club that would have as its broad aim the improvement of the mind through the study of literature and the establishment of a public library. Gathering books and petitioning City Council when funds were scarce, the Everett Women's Book Club set up a temporary library in the home of a member. In 1898 the city offered them three rooms in City Hall. The Club continued to work for permanent quarters, next moving to a small building, and in 1905 received a Carnegie grant to design an official library for the city of Everett. Throughout its history, the Everett Woman's Book Club has worked to support library collections and services. Contributor Everett Public Library Date Original 1895 Location depicted Hotel Monte Cristo, Everett, Wash.
