Historical Notes from online:
The beginning of a
library for Pampa occurred in January, 1907
, when a group of
literary-minded women
met to organize “The Ladies’ Library Club.” Mrs. W.R. Beydler was elected president of the organization which included Mmes. W.R. Beydler, J.H. Boge, C.P. Buckler, J.E. Chapman, J.T. Clagett, J.T. Crawford,
Oscar Cousins
, Edna Davis, Lettie Davis, T.D. Hobart, A.A. Holland, T.H. Lane, Claude Ledrick, C.H. Mullin, E.A. Shackleton, Harley Talley, J.W. Talley, G.W. Tinsley, H.M. Thomas, Georgia Vincent, Katie Vincent, W.T. Wilks, J.S. Wynne and Miss Bessie Warren (Mrs. B.E. Finley).
Mrs. Hobart, Wilks, Cole and Katie Vincent served on the committee to draft the first by-laws for the library group.
The club met in the basement of the First National Bank building and also in the homes of members. On one occasion when Katie Vincent was hostess, her husband Wiley went to the fields and returned with several watermelons so that the women could have a watermelon feast on the lawn in front of the Vincent home (the pioneer cottage which at that time was in the 501 block of East Browning). Not only did Wiley provide for possibly the first lawn party held in Pampa , but he also baby-sat with the Vincent children while the club meeting was in session.
