Please use relevant Dublin Core fields for Title, Creator, and other key elements as needed. Story The primary full-text for the entry. The summer of 1896 saw the creation of the Traveling Library System. Modeled after the program of the New York State Library, the collections consisted of twenty-five to thirty books in boxes which were made by residents at the Ohio School for the Deaf. Collections were sent to reading clubs, citizens, boards of education, public libraries, and granges. The objectives were to furnish good literature; strengthen small libraries; and to create an interest in the establishment of new ones. The first collection was sent to a women’s club in Mt. Vernon, Ohio on November 6, 1896. The first school collection was sent to Adelphi. The first grange to receive a traveling library collection was Number 729 in West Jefferson, Ohio. More than three fourths of the collections were sent to rural communities and small villages that had no libraries. Schools and granges were located in remote areas of the state. By 1899 the Traveling Library was even going to North Bass Island in Lake Erie although transportation from Sandusky after November was not dependable due to the weather. Book purchases for the school collections were made from the list recommended by the Board of Control of the Ohio Teachers’ Reading Circle. Agricultural books for the granges were selected on approval of the lecturer of the State Grange. Additional space was soon needed elsewhere for the Traveling Library program. Quarters were rented at 1991/2 East Gay Street, and its former space was now used for the General Library Department. By 1910 there were 1,387 traveling libraries in Ohio, circulating books through women’s clubs, schools, granges, libraries, study clubs, religious organizations, and men’s clubs. Circulation for the collections in the Traveling Library steadily rose throughout the seventy-seven years that the program operated. In 1896 the circulation of the traveling library was 250. By 1930 it had risen to 600,000. Additional space was soon needed elsewhere for the Traveling Library program. Quarters were rented at 199 1/2 East Gay Street, and its former space was now used for the General Library Department.

As Ohio has been called the "cradle of coaches," the State Library of Ohio could be called the training ground for State Librarians. Story The primary full-text for the entry. Ohio as a training ground for State Librarians began as early as 1921, when Mary E. Downey became State Librarian of North Dakota. Downey had been the state library organizer for Ohio in 1908. She left and went to Utah, where she held the same position. She then found her way to the North Dakota State Library. In 1963. Walter T. Brahm left the State Library of Ohio to become the State Librarian of Connecticut. Brahm had been State Librarian of Ohio since 1942 and retired from the Connecticut State Library in 1975. This happened again in 1971, when Edwin Dowlin, head of the newly-created Library Development Division, left to become State Librarian of New Mexico. Paul Agresti, Assistant to the State Librarian of Ohio, moved to the State Library of New Mexico and became acting State Librarian after Dowlin. In 1974, Richard M. Cheski, who had succeeded Dowlin as head of library development, left Ohio to become State Librarian of Colorado. In 1978, Cheski returned to Ohio as State Librarian when Joseph F. Shubert became State Librarian of New York. Patricia Harris, a library development consultant, left the State Library of Ohio for the Louisiana State Library. From there, she moved to North Dakota to become State Librarian in 1985. James W. Fry, Deputy State Librarian for Library Services in Ohio, left in 1984 to become the State Librarian of Michigan. He was replaced by Blane K. Dessey, from the State Library of Oklahoma. Dessey left Ohio in 1986 to become State Librarian of Alabama. He was succeeded there by Patricia Harris, who left North Dakota in 1991. Michael Jaugstetter came to the came to the State Library of Ohio in 1983 to head the LSCA Title II Construction program. Jaugstetter moved to the North Dakota State Library and became State Librarian in 1996. Michael Lucas, though he didn't change states, became State Librarian in 1996 when Richard Cheski retired. He had begun as a reference librarian at the State Library of Ohio in 1978. Jo Budler succeeded Michael Lucas as state librarin in 2004 after Lucas's retirement.

Jonathan Harper was a ship captain from Philadelphia before he became a prominent politician and then Ohio’s first State Librarian. He served as one of Governor Thomas Worthington’s lieutenants and then as State Librarian, which were both political appointments. As a State Librarian, Harper organized the library in rooms located in Ohio’s first state office building and created a record of the 509 books purchased by Worthington to establish a State Library. Harper began the first accession register on December 25, 1817. He was also responsible for researching and drafting laws for the Legislature. Harper was paid two dollars per day while the Legislature was in session. His life and career were fraught with scandal and tragedy. In 1819, Harper was involved in a dramatic legal case involving a Bank of America branch located in Ohio, which led to his arrest and eventual dismissal of charges. In 1822, Harper mistook his father in-law for a deer, fatally shot him, and returned to working on a ship after the accident. Harper survived a hurricane in 1850 while serving as a clerk on the Saranuk steamboat on the Mississippi River in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. At least three crew members were killed and several others were severely injured.

As the second State Librarian, John McElvain also recorded books in the accession register as they were purchased by the Governor. The seventeenth General Assembly (1818 – 1819) authorized Governor Ethan Allen Brown to purchase copies of Binns’ edition of the Declaration of Independence, extended library privileges to judges of courts of common pleas starting in 1818, and appropriated $1,000 to purchase books in 1819. McElvain held a number of political positions during his lifetime. He served two non-consecutive terms as Franklin County Sheriff, the first one during his position as State Librarian. McElvain served as an Indian agent for many years under the Administration of President Andrew Jackson. In this role, and as outlined in the 1830 Indian Removal Act, McElvain assisted with negotiations to move Ohio Native American tribes out of the state. The Seneca, Delaware, and Ottawa tribes moved across the Mississippi River in 1832 and 1837. The Wyandots refused to move West but they eventually reached an agreement and ceded their lands in 1842. After leaving his position, McElvain served two non-consecutive terms as the Director of the Ohio Penitentiary.

Broderick, 1820-1823 Story The primary full-text for the entry. David S. Broderick was appointed State Librarian on December 6, 1819 and began his position in 1820. Like his predecessors, Broderick earned two dollars a day during the Legislative session. He was the first State Librarian to die in office. Columbus and much of the nation suffered through a yellow fever epidemic in 1823, and Broderick was one of the many that perished. After his death, it was discovered that some books and pamphlets were missing from the library. An Ohio House committee concluded that extra keys to the library were made and left in the entry door during the legislative recess. As a result, the library remained open when the Legislature was on recess and the State Librarian’s salary was adjusted accordingly. Broderick’s place in history is associated with the founding of Columbus City government and one of the earliest taverns in Ohio. In 1815, he built and opened the Columbus Inn on the southeast corner of High and Town Streets. In 1816, the Ohio General Assembly passed the Act to incorporate the town of Columbus in the county of Franklin, which designated the Columbus Inn as the first meeting place of qualified electors of Columbus to elect a city council.

Broderick died, Zechariah Mills was appointed State Librarian by a joint convention of the two branches of the Legislature. A law was enacted during this session changing the term of State Librarian to three years with an annual salary of $200. An appropriation of $350 a year for four years was established for the purchase of books. Mills brought stability to the library by serving for close to eighteen years. From January 1838 to June 1844, he diligently logged the temperature and weather conditions in Columbus. Every day, morning, noon, and night, he entered his observations into his ledger. Occasionally, he would include events of interest to him. On August 11, 1842, he declared the weather in Columbus to be “variable…but very pleasant,” with a daytime high of 82°, a low of 57°, and with a bit of fog in the morning. He also recorded the first stone for the foundation of the new State House. The library was becoming very cramped as the number of volumes grew from 1,717 in 1824 to 7,564 in 1841. As a result, the Legislature authorized the State Librarian to enlarge the library by adjoining it to another room.

On February 9, 1842, Thomas Kennedy was appointed by an election in the joint convention of the two branches of the Legislature. He received 53 votes and Zachariah Mills received 50. Kennedy continued the work of Zachariah Mills in recording the daily weather. A significant change took place in 1844 when a law was passed to create a Board of Commissioners with the power to adopt rules and regulations, and to control all expenditures. The Commissioners, which included the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the State Librarian, were charged with managing the sale of Supreme Court reports and other extra copies of documents and authorized to use the proceeds to increase preservation in the library. The Commission was also authorized to exchange laws, journals, documents, and reports with other legislative bodies, states, and libraries. Although Kennedy was on the ballot for a second term, he lost by 21 votes to the sixth State Librarian, John Greiner. Later, Kennedy worked as Assistant Librarian for 165 days during the tenure of Elijah Hayward. It was the first time an Assistant Librarian was paid by the Legislature.

John Greiner was elected as State Librarian for a three-year term in 1845 with an annual salary of $400. The library was now open for all to visit and view the collections. However, only current and former Legislators, Supreme Court Judges, and officers of the state were allowed to borrow books. The first Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library was presented to the Ohio Senate in 1846. Governor Mordecai Bartley, Secretary of State Samuel Galloway, and Greiner reported $1,688 in proceeds from selling Ohio Reports and Statutes. They also reported the room for the library was too small to contain the books and reports, and not suitable for preservation. The forty-fourth General Assembly approved enlarging the library and Greiner’s salary was increased to $500 a year. In 1846, the Commissioners reported additions and refitting made to the library. Geological and other specimens, belonging to a predecessor of the Ohio Historical Society, had been transferred to the care of the Librarian. By 1849, the Commissioners were requesting even more space. Greiner was reappointed for a second term in 1851 but resigned to become Territorial Secretary in the New Mexico territory.

Long before his service as State Librarian, Elijah Hayward had a lucrative law practice in Cincinnati, served as an Ohio House Representative from 1825 to 1830, and helped Andrew Jackson in his successful 1828 presidential campaign. Hayward was elected 17th Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1830, but resigned a few months later after being appointed by President Jackson as Commissioner of the General Land Office. Hayward was appointed State Librarian by Governor Reuben Wood. He was known as a scholar, historian, judicious bibliophile, and skilled genealogist. In addition to purchasing reading materials for the library, he also borrowed books and papers from other state departments or agencies for use in the State Library. The first national library convention was held in New York City in 1853 and Hayward was one of eighty-two attendees. At the meeting, he was appointed to a committee to draft a constitution and bylaws to formalize an association and organize the second conference. A second meeting never occurred and Hayward left the State Library one year later. The constitution was not created until the American Library Association officially formalized twenty-three years later in 1876.

Taylor assumed the State Librarian position on May 13, 1854, the State Library contained 14,988 volumes. By January 2, 1856, another 2,106 had been added to the collection. Taylor was known for his judicious efforts to collect and preserve Ohio documents, census figures, and publications about Ohio. He took great care to collect pamphlets printed by the State of Ohio. Current and older editions of newspapers were collected, bound, and regularly consulted by library users. Taylor was an avid researcher and scholar with a fervent interest in history. While serving as State Librarian, he published History of the State of Ohio, First Period, 1650 – 1787. During the last month of his term, the library moved to two rooms in the new Ohio Statehouse, opposite the Office of the Ohio Treasurer. His research endeavors while State Librarian led to his participation in western expansion. In 1859, he was appointed Special Agent of the U.S. Treasury Department by President James Buchanan and charged with reporting trade relations between the United States and Canada. His report, <em>Relations between the United States and Northwest British America</em>, was published by Congress in 1862.

Coggeshall was an established writer, editor, and publisher when Governor Salmon P. Chase appointed him as his secretary and then State Librarian. Plans for a permanent classification system began and a large portion of the budget was used to purchase complete sets of standard works in the general and law departments. In 1858, the collection moved to the larger Library Room across from the Senate Chamber. Coggeshall compiled a number of noteworthy publications including <em>Index to Ohio laws, general and local, and to the resolutions of the General Assembly, from 1845-6 to 1857, inclusive: with an appendix, containing an index to the documents in the Journals of the House and Senate from 1802 to 1836</em>. He chronicled the State Library’s history in the <em>Annual Report of Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1858: with a History Sketch by the Librarian</em>. In 1860, the law collection was separated to establish the Law Library of the Supreme Court of Ohio. In 1861, President-elect Abraham Lincoln’s train stopped in Columbus on its inaugural route to Washington, D.C.  Coggeshall met Lincoln at the train station and escorted him to the Statehouse. He also traveled with Lincoln to Washington, D.C. as an unofficial bodyguard.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Harbaugh was sixty years old when he was appointed State Librarian. His career included time as a merchant and then superintendent of a Lutheran Sunday school. In the <em>Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1862</em>, State Library Commissioners Governor David Tod, Secretary of State W. S. Kennon, and Harbaugh complained of a lack of space and described government documents loosely laid on top of cases because the shelves were overcrowded. As a result, the library was appropriated $200 for additional shelving. In 1862, Harbaugh reported 25,400 volumes in the general and law library collections of the State Library. By 1870, there were 34,230. After a $12,000 appropriation for 1873, the library was expanded with alcoves and shelving. Harbaugh continued the work of his predecessor, creating a catalogue of all of the bound volumes with their proper classification and placement in the alcoves. As his age progressed and his health declined, he appointed his daughter Mary as Assistant Librarian. She held that position from 1869 to 1886. Until this time, women were not common in the library field and Mary was one of the first female librarians in Ohio.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

State Library Commissioners Governor W. Allen, Secretary of State A. T. Wikoff, and Hood praised the cataloging work of William Holden and Miss Harbaugh in the <em>Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1874</em>. They also requested authority to expend a balance of $2,964, left from the $12,000 appropriation in 1873, to enlarge the library’s skylight and cover the floor with carpeting. On February 4, 1875, Hood became the second State Librarian to die while in office. The year before his death, he wrote down his wishes for his funeral, and the note was found in his office at the State Library following his death.  His personal burial requests were to be placed in a plain wood coffin and carried on a wooden frame by a group of men, and that no funeral notices or unnecessary expenses occur. </p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Robinson’s term as State Librarian, improvements to the collections, cataloging, and the printing and distribution of catalogs continued. The ceiling was remodeled and admired for its artistic appearance. The enlarged skylight provided greater light and ventilation in the library. Prior to being State Librarian, Robinson was the first State Printer of California, editor and principal owner of the <em>Cincinnati Enquirer</em>, and in 1855 he was the first United States Marshal in the Southern District of Ohio. As a U.S. Marshal, he was directly involved in the slavery case of Margaret Garner. Under federal law, he escorted Garner and her family back to slave handlers in Kentucky after her trial.  State government disapproved of the Garners being sent back and charged Robinson with contempt of court and placed him in jail. The state believed he went against a court ruling by taking the Garners out of local custody. Robinson referred to the order stating he was following the federal Fugitive Slave Act.  He was later cleared and continued to serve as U.S. Marshal until his resignation in October 1856. More than a century later, author Toni Morrison was inspired by the case. She received the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for <em>Beloved</em>, a historical novel loosely based on events from the Garner case.

Kerr was a teacher, county school superintendent, and county recorder before he purchased and became the editor of <em>The Clermont Sun</em> in 1864. Kerr was appointed as State Librarian at the end of his term as an Ohio Senator.  In 1880, the library purchased the Arthur St. Clair papers. St. Clair was the Governor of the Northwest Territory from 1788 to 1802. Many of the papers were damaged and in some cases only fragments remained. While in the care of the State Librarian, it was discovered that forty-four letters from General George Washington, relating to several revolutionary campaigns and affairs of the Northwest Territory, were among the papers. The State Library Commissioners recommended publishing the papers in order to preserve the documents while making their contents accessible. Kerr fell ill while working in the library in March 1881 and requested Assistant Librarian Mary Harbaugh to return to the library that day so he could go home.  He passed away the next day.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Geiger was an attorney, Pickaway County Prosecuting Attorney, general in the Ohio Militia, Ohio Senator, and briefly served as a clerk of the United States courts in Cincinnati before his appointment as State Librarian. Geiger was known for his charming personality and oratorical skill, but also for his odd and eccentric ways. As a political appointee of Governor Charles Foster, Geiger had his opponents. One went so far as to claim the library was in such a filthy condition that it kept visitors away. However, the <em>Annual Report of the Commissioners of the State Library for 1882</em>, stated the library was now a source of pride. “We believe the library has never been in a better condition than now. It is clean, books all carefully arranged, and visitors are well accommodated. We recommend an appropriation for new furniture, and if a new carpet were finished in addition, our State Library would equal, if not excel, any State Library in the Union.” The report also noted an increase in students from Ohio State University using the library. Following his death, Geiger’s obituary read, “There was but one mould when he was born and thereafter broken. He died leaving none to rival or imitate him.”</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Conard had a background in journalism and was editor of the <em>Mansfield News</em> prior to his term as State Librarian. His interest in literature was reflected in his efforts to increase its representation in the collection. The <em>Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1883</em> stated, “In the purchase of books during the year, an effort was made to select such literature as would add to the already high character of the Library as a reference Library, and increase its value to the people of the State as a repository of scientific, historical, and biographic works, not ordinarily found in private or circulating libraries.” Conard was later known for writing non-fiction books about the American West. His best known work, <em>Uncle Dick Wootton, the pioneer frontiersman of the Rocky Mountain region</em>, was published in 1890 and is considered a classic piece of literature in detailing the history of the western United States. Conard interviewed Richens Lacy “Uncle Dick” Wootton to create the biography. In addition to writing numerous non-fiction works, Conard also delved into fiction with his book <em>Reconstructing Eden</em> in 1909, which incorporate themes of social conduct, drinking, and temptation from evil.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pierson was a Presbyterian minister and author of numerous books before his service in Ohio as State Librarian. Originally, he aspired to be a foreign missionary, but due to his poor health he became a traveling minister for the American Bible Society. He served as President of Cumberland College in Princeton, Kentucky from 1858 to 1860. In 1869, he was forced out of Georgia by the Ku Klux Klan for his humanitarian efforts to help people recently freed from slavery. Pierson wrote about his experiences as a traveling minister in his book, <em>Into the Brush: Old-Time Social, Political, and Religious Life in the Southwest</em>, published in1881. In the <em>Annual Report of the Commissioners of the State Library for 1885</em>, a letter to the people from Pierson was included as an appendix. He wrote, “There are hundreds of invaluable books written by Ohio authors, either native or resident, that I do not find on our catalog. I think a just State pride should impel an early collection of all such books in the State Library, both for our own reputation, and for the benefit of present and succeeding generations.”</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Loomis held positions as a reporter and Republican Party correspondent. In 1885, he was dispatched by the <em>Philadelphia Press</em> to cover Joseph B. Foraker’s  successful gubernatorial campaign in Ohio. Governor Foraker then appointed Loomis as State Librarian in 1886.  The <em>Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Ohio State Library for 1886</em> reflects his interest in preservation in this statement, “An effort is being made by the Librarian to secure a complete file of all the newspapers published in Ohio, in order that a record of current history may be kept at a central point, accessible to all persons.” Loomis made many connections in Ohio and was selected by William McKinley to work for his presidential campaign in 1896. He was appointed by President William McKinley as U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela in 1897 and to Portugal in 1901.  Other federal positions held by Loomis included U.S. Assistant Secretary of State from 1903 to 1905, and as a special ambassador for various foreign trips around the world.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Doane was city editor of the <em>Ohio State Journal</em> before he served two years as Assistant State Librarian for Francis B. Loomis. He was appointed State Librarian in 1887 by Governor Joseph B. Foraker. His time as State Librarian was uneventful. From 1891 to 1898, Doane was the city clerk of Columbus. Unlike his term as State Librarian, Doane’s time as a city clerk was tarnished by corruption and scandal. In 1894, he was arrested for jury tampering in the case of W. Z. McDonald, whom he favored. Four years later he abruptly left town with his family. When he was found looking for employment in Cincinnati, he claimed that he had resigned his position as City Clerk.  Doane was accused of fraud for writing fake checks. After not finding work in Cincinnati, he traveled to Pittsburgh where he returned to newspaper work. He was a night editor for the <em>Pittsburgh Dispatch</em> and then copy editor for the <em>Detroit Free Press</em>. In 1933, Doane died after being struck down repeatedly by three cars while walking across the street in Detroit.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
