The eleven Sangerville women who came together to form a Women{s Club on the twenty- seventh of February of 1922 were instrumental in both sowing and nurturing the seeds for what is known today as the Sangerville Public Library. Their first vote that cold day in February was to organize the women{s club to attend a class in government, according to a motion made by Miss Abbie Fowler. That two-fold idea might have been spurred by the then recent passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution which gave women the right to vote. They also voted that memorable day to choose a committee to draw up its constitution and by-laws. The group met next on the 6th of March and passed their proposed constitution and by-laws, elected officers, and voted to buy the club{s secretary a book for recording the minutes of their meetings. The club{s first President was Genevieve W. Campbell who was assisted by Vice-Presidents Alice C. Jackson and Josephine Carr. The club{s first secretary was Flossie Lambert and its{ treasurer, Vina Marsh. Shortly afterward, the women formed numerous committees, which by their own account, served to broaden their horizons. There were committees on literary selections, social concerns, government, civic matters, as well as music and art.
