A member of the club, Blanche Coyle, left a bequest of $30,435 (~${{Format price|{{Inflation|index=US-GDP|value=30435|start_year=1915}}}} in {{Inflation/year|US-GDP}}) in 1915 to construct a library building. The building was completed in 1924, located at the corner of Second and Queen Streets. Later the library was made part of the Franklin County Library and began to receive funds from the County and State, though the ''Afternoon Club'' still donated funds through at least 1979. The building it currently occupies is a former post office. Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
