Comment: clearly notable from the amount it has published. Publishers, and similar organization get very little press, unless they happen to do something scandalous. When I first saw the title of this article, I expected to say delete, because I am quite deletionist about local societies of all sorts, but considerably to my surprise, this one seems important. (We do generally accept county libraries as notable, though I have often been skeptical -- as threatened institutions, they usually make sure they have enough local press attention to them.) I think the importance may to some extent be ultimately based on the fact that Mark Twain's wife came from here,   and he lived here here some of his life--resulting in a good deal of important Twaine material in the collection. The ultimate principle of inclusion in Wikipedia is not WP:N, but . Including this will make the encyclopedia  better & more informative, and that's enough reason to include an article. It is quite explicit that IAR trumps any more specific regulation here: it has very simple wording, given in a  single sentence without any exceptions: '' "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it."   ''   That's probably the solution to the perennial question of when WP:GNG applies--it applies when it helps, and does not apply when it does not help
