Kirkland’s first library came to being due to the efforts of the woman’s club who began acquiring books from various sources. The club accumulated enough books that would fill the new clubhouse building. The Kirkland Woman’s Clubhouse project was an entire community project, with the “Wolf Cub Scout” pack (some sourses believe that this was the first Cub Scout pack in the U.S.) & the Union ‘A’ High School Wood Shop class helping raise funds and even doing some of the construction. The new clubhouse / library was completed in 1925. The club housed the Kirkland library until 1949. You can still see the official library plaque on the lower right corner of the building.  At one point, the building even housed a baby clinic (until 1930 when Kirkland General Hospital opened). Today, the clubhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a King County Landmark.
