"In 1910 the city assumed responsibility for the library but it continued in temporary quarters until the women organized the Greater Turlock Civic Club to petition for Carnegie funding. A grant of $10,000 was received in 1915, and the women donated a lot valued at $1950."(Submitted on May 11, 2023, by Joseph Alvarado of Livermore, California.)
