Optional Brief Statement
The all-female Library Club supported the creation and development of the Robbinsdale Public Library. The library was housed in various businesses around Robbinsdale until 1917, when the Club purchased a small bakery building, moved it to 4915 -42nd Avenue North, and converted it into a little library. In 1925, the bakery building was replaced by the existing building. Costs of construction were funded by local citizens and the Library Club. The library was much loved by the community, but by 1976, the library was consolidated into a new Rockford Road library two miles away.
