A Self-Paced Reading Program for Lifelong Learners
The Peoria Women’s Club proudly participates in Epsilon Sigma Omicron (ESO)—an honorary educational society for members of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC).
The Peoria Women's Club and Bradley University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) have partnered to create the Peoria Chautauqua Literary & Scientific Circle (Peoria CLSC). Recognized as the nation’s oldest continuous book club, the CLSC is a course that requires registration and a fee paid to Bradley University, part of which supports the national Chautauqua Institution and CLSC graduation fees.
The Peoria CLSC does offer additional events throughout the year for PWC members (as well as OLLI members and guests) that do not require the same fees or prior reading.

Join us for the second 2025 ESO Library Tour as we visit the historic Lincoln-Carnegie Branch Library, a Neoclassical gem built in 1910 with a grant from Andrew Carnegie. Nestled in Lincoln Park, the library stands on the site of Peoria’s early City Cemetery and the former Abner Eads Farm—home to Rebecca Eads, the first American woman settler in Peoria. Open to PWC Epilion Sigma Omicron (ESO) Members and/or Peoria CLSC Members.
