The Mingo Club was formed in 1906 by a group of teenage girls who shared a love of books. In 1909, they decided to raise funds, primarily by holding entertainments and suppers, to build a library.

Two young women, two different career paths. However, there are many similarities between Jocelyne Coombs and Emilia Baker, winners of the Mingo Grant this year. Both grew up in Harpswell and love their close-knit community. Both worked very hard to get where they are.
