The Schoolcraft Ladies' Library Association was founded in 1879 and is still in operation. Library and literary associations founded by women flourished in the late 19th century and persisted, particularly in Michigan, long after the need for access to reading materials should have been filled by public libraries. Literary clubs functioned as a source of continuing education for women at a time when higher education was not readily available. Ladies' library associations often served their communities as circulating libraries, and some provided the core collections of fledgling public libraries which were often started by these same women's groups..
