Title	Open Shelf
Subject	Literary Ohio Public libraries
Place	Cleveland (Ohio) Cuyahoga County (Ohio)
Description	Named for the Cleveland Public Library's groundbreaking plan to allow patrons access to its bookshelves, the Open Shelf was a regular publication of the library from 1894 until 1975. Initially a list of new books, it later featured news about the library. Linda Anne Eastman, later the fourth Librarian (Director) of the library, was the first editor of the publication. This 1894 issue, volume 1, number 1, is sixteen pages long and measures 3 by 6 inches (7.62 by 15.24 cm). It is part of the library's archives, which is open by appointment and which maintains a wide range of materials documenting the institution's history. By Ohio's centennial in 1903, the Cleveland Public Library was delivering service from a main library, four large branches, five smaller branches, four high school libraries, twenty-six deposit stations (collections deposited on loan to schools, factories, and stores), and fifteen delivery stations (book delivery service to private schools, factories, and clubs). Its collections numbered nearly 209,000 volumes, including a collection of books in raised type for blind readers, and circulation exceeded 970,000.
