The Woman's Club of Wilmette was established in 1891, and it has been an important part of the Wilmette community ever since. The Club even helped establish the Wilmette Public Library that we know today!

This weekend is Wilmette's big event to celebrate our 150th anniversary! This year, the Village is commemorating this important anniversary with a block party in downtown Wilmette with music, food, performances, and kids activities.

This month marks the 120th anniversary of the first library building in Wilmette! The first library building opened on July 6, 1901, and was located on the corner of Wilmette and Central Avenues.
