The open gates of the Ohioana Library invite the world to come in, especially in winter, the season of hospitality. This picture on our cover
to show a little of what the Library has and looks like symbolizes the protection Ohioana gives its treasures and its open-door welcome to visitors in search of information about Ohio.
The gates, a decorative solution to a practical problem of ventilation, point up the loyal support Ohioana receives from its members. They were presented to the Library by Miss Elizabeth Dyer of Cincinnati, an Ohioana trustee. She gave them in memory of her father Frank B. Dyer, an outstanding educator of Ohio who was Superintendent of Schools in Cincinnati, 1903-1912 and held the same position in Boston, 1912-1918. The gates stand ajar to welcome you to our shelves.
