Largo Women's Club



I attended a lovely luncheon meeting of the Largo Women's Club on Tuesday October 7th and spoke to the 30 members present about the shared history of the group with Largo Public Library. The group started out as the Ladies' Improvement Society in 1906 and reformed as the Largo Women's Club in 1914. This organization has a long history of philanthropic endeavors throughout the city and created the library in 1916 with the help of local citizens. As the library gears up to start the centennial celebrations in 1915 we are reaching out to other local organizations and residents for pictures, memorabilia and documents to enhance our Local History Collection. Please contact the library if you wish to donate any items or if you would like a staff member to speak to your group.
