The rather amateurish, home-made appearance of the loose-leaf books shown in the picture is, under the circumstances, quite fitting. The books are a part of the Ohioana Library’s file of
biographical information about Ohio authors, professional and amateur, which has been thirty years in the making. Started by enthusiastic—and hence sometimes uncritical—
amateur researchers, the file grew with the library, and, like it, has developed over the years into a more professional and discerning operation.
Miss Florence Kelley, our Librarian, gives these books her careful attention. The Library boasts, with so far no voice raised in objection, that in these books it possesses
more biographical data about the authors of Ohio than any other library has about the authors of its state.
