Description |
Meeting Minutes of the Fairhope Library Review Club dated 1901-1903, which met for the first time in January 1901 in the home of Dr. Clara Atkinson in Fairhope, Alabama. The minutes are an interesting read because important early Fairhopers attended and participated in book reviews: e.g. Marie Howland, Carrie P. Sykes, Mrs. Louis Bostedo, George Bancroft, M. M. Cope, James Bellangee, C. L. Coleman, Sarah Woods (Sarah Woods Coleman) and others. S. H. Comings and Lydia J. Newcomb Comings came to a meeting in 1903 soon after moving to Fairhope. NOTE: The Fairhope Public Library was established in April 1900 with an important collection of books from Edward (deceased 1890) and Marie Howland forming the nucleus of the Library's collection. This book review club started less than a year after the Library was founded. From the Fairhope Public Library Collection and the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation Archives. |
