The Madawaska Book Club was formed in Arnprior in 1962. Originally a member of
the Canadian Home reading Union, the group decided to drop its membership in the Union
in1991. Funds were used to buy books and magazines for use in the Arnprior Public
Library, The Grove Nursing Home and The Arnprior & District Hospital. Also the
group sent parcels of books to schools where funds were not available for a library.
The collection consists of one binder containing minutes of the Madawaska Book
Club, membership list and bookkeeping related to membership, as well as book lists,
correspondence, photographs, etc.
