The club established a public library, first called Clopton Library for the club's founder. Other projects of the renamed woman's culture club included landscaping in public areas and scholarships. Club members coordinated a works progress administration project to build a public library building here in 1938-39, meetings were held at the library building here in 1938-39. Meetings were held at the library until 1953 when George Watkins bequeathed his home to the club. (1997)
