Ohio Resource Libraries: Tour Day 3
After a questionable stay at our roadside motel, Linda and I woke up not-quite-as-early (remember, this is eastern time, so everything feels early to us!) and hit the local McDonalds for a surprisingly good cup o’ joe and egg sandwiches, then it was off to Wright State University to meet with Sheila Shellabarger and our own Bette Sydelko. We had a discussion of the challenges of opioid addiction in the Toledo area and the potential of partnering with researchers at Wright State on an outreach project with the library. We took a peek around their lofty library facility and compared it to our own brutalist library fac...

Ohio Resource Libraries: Tour Day 2
I’ll bet you wondered what happened to the posts for the second and third day of our journey! Well, the charger for my laptop was mislaid at the airport (likely O’Hare) and my laptop became an expensive paperweight for the remainder of the trip. My plans to use the computer at the hotel were dashed when we stayed at a decidedly dodgy Hawthorn Inn and Suites near Toledo, which didn’t have such luxuries.

Ohio Resource Libraries: Tour Day 1
Linda Walton and I are visiting our Resource Library partners across Ohio this week! As we work our way from Cleveland to Cincinnati, we make stops only for the occasional pastry and micro brew…. and to visit our partners, of course.
Our first stop was Case Western Reserve University, where we met with interim director Kathleen Blazar and her team at the beautiful Allen Memorial Medical Library. The Allen Library was built by the Cleveland Medical Library Association in 1925 and it is a librarian’s dream of a library. Pink marble steps lead to solid bronze doors, and within are classic reading rooms, murals, f...
