Here is a view of a little corner in the Martha Kinney Cooper Ohioana Library showing how the past and present meet. The photograph of Martha Kinney Cooper (upper left) was taken in 1929, the year she founded the Library. Today she is even more interested in it, if possible, than she was then. The oil portrait is of Henry Howe, Ohio’s greatest historian, whose work is as much consulted today as when he wrote it. The bookcase under the portrait contains the Lulu S. Teeter memorial collection of rare Ohio books purchased by donations from her friends in the book world in every part of the country. Her daughter, Mary Teeter Zimmerman, is a Trustee of the Library
