Hello,

I recently became curious how many displays, exhibits, collections, memorials, or tributes exist in Ohio's libraries dedicated to a local author.
Three that came readily to mind are:
- The Toni Morrison Room at Lorain Public Library
- Nancy Drew Collection at Toledo-Lucas County Public Library
- The Superman Exhibit here at Cleveland Public Library

Although Ohioana has a nice list of literary-related sites around the state on their Ohio Literary Trail map: http://www.ohioana.org/resources/the-ohio-literary-trail-2/
And the Ohio Center for the Book has a growing list of Ohio author mini-biographies: https://ohiocenterforthebook.org/ohio-authors/
I'm specifically curious about installations inside or on the grounds of libraries -- public, academic, or special -- dedicated to a local author or "literary celebrity."

Feel free to email me directly at don at cpl.org or reply to the listserv as others may be interested in this topic.

Thanks!
Don
