Woman's Club of Niles


The WCN was instrumental in the establishment of the Niles Public Library.
This photographic collage captures the excitement and achievement of the civic organization for the years of its existence, 1954-2007.The collage hangs in the Reference Department at the Niles Library. The WCN presented another copy to the Niles Historical Society and Musuem. All of the ladies depicted have not yet been identified. Their range of contributions to the civic life of Niles is reminiscent of Benjamin Franklin and his Junto!
