Biographical / Historical:

In 1896, the Ladies Literary Club of Ypsilanti sponsored an auxiliary organization, the Study Club. The first meeting of the Club was held in the Ladies Library building in January 1897. The purpose of the Club was to meet and listen to a prepared lecture on a subject of topical interest given by one of the Club's members. In 1903, the Study Club formed its own auxiliary, the Woman's Club, which held its first meeting in 1904. In 1924, the two groups merged to form the Woman's Study Club of Ypsilanti.
