HistoryFounded in December 1838, it was Ohio's first public library created with tax money. There were sixty-six charter members in the association's subscription library. Members paid a annual fee of two dollars[6]. The Ohio General Assembly granted a charter to the Young Men's Association of Toledo for a "lyceum and public library."[3] In 1864, Republican members broke off from the Young Men's Association Library and formed the Toledo Library Association. In 1867, the two groups merged. In 1873, a free public library was organized by an act of the Ohio Legislature. On May 26, City Council passed a resolution creating The Toledo Public Library.[4] Mrs. Anna B. Carpenter was selected as the first Librarian of the Toledo Public Library. On November 3, 1873, the Toledo Public Library opened for its first day of operation on the second floor of the King Block, a commercial building on the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and Summit Street.[5] In 1875, Miss Lucy Stevens succeeded Mrs. Carpenter as Librarian. In 1884, Stevens retired and was replaced by Mrs. Frances Jermain. In 1890, Edward O. Fallis designed a new Main Library in early Norman and Byzantine style.[6] Built on the corner of Madison and Ontario Streets, it opened on June 23, 1890. An addition was built in 1914.[7] In 1902, Jermain retired and was replaced by Willis Fuller Sewall. He left in 1914 and was replaced by Herbert S. Hirschberg.[5] In 1916, the Andrew Carnegie Fund offered $125,000 to build five branches on sites to be provided by city. Those branches were the David R. Locke Branch, opened on December 5, 1917; Eliza M. Kent Branch, on December 11, 1917 (fire destroyed the original building in 1974); the Anna C. Mott Branch, on January 3, 1918; Frances D. Jermain Branch, on January 7, 1918; and the South Branch, on January 16, 1918.[5] In 1923, Carl Vitz took over as Librarian. He was succeeded in 1937 by Russell Schunk, on whose watch the current Toledo Lucas County Main Library was built. It is on land that was the former home of the Toledo Central High School. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Hahn and Hayes and opened on September 5, 1940.[8] The interior of the building was modeled after the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland. The exterior was modeled on that of Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.[7] The one of the interesting features of the building are the vitrolite murals in the Central Court and the Children's Library. On November 1, 1945, Herbert M. Sewell was named Librarian, taking over for Mr. Vitz; 10 years later, he was succeeded by Robert D. Franklin who stayed as Librarian until the merging of the 3 library systems. The current system was created in 1970 by the merger of the Toledo Public, Lucas County (established in 1918), and Sylvania Public (established in 1927) libraries. Lewis Naylor was named Director of the combined libraries. Ardath Danforth was named to replace him in 1977. She would leave in 1985, replaced that same year by Clyde Scoles. In 2019 Jason Kucsma became Interim Director. In 2001, the Main Library was restored and added {{convert|100000|sqft|m2}} to an Art Deco facility. The architectural firm of Munger Munger + Associates Architects , Inc. designed the expansion and renovation of the building The Lucas County Library opened in 1918 at the location that is now known as the Maumee Branch of the Toledo Lucas County Publilc Library system. Emilie Meuser was the first Director of the Lucas County Library. She was replaced by Dorothy Strouse who served in that role from 1929-1970 when the library systems merged. In 1937 the Lucas County Library system expanded to include bookmobile service for the first time in the county. The Sylvania Public Library was established as a separate entity from the Lucas County Library in 1926 with Amy M. Ramsey as Director. Marie Huff replaced her in 1931 and served as Director until 1943 when Lillian Miller Carroll took over. Janet Boucher became Director in 1950 and was replaced in 1956 by Helen Consear who served until the systems merged.
