Subject	Literary Ohio Libraries Public libraries Newspapers
Place	Youngstown (Ohio) Mahoning County (Ohio)
Description	This editorial entitled "Our Public Library" appeared on page 5 of the Youngstown Vindicator on October 1, 1880. It was written by the executive committee of the Youngstown Library Association a few weeks prior to its formal incorporation on October 27, 1880. By 1870 there were 168 volumes in the library of the Wood Street School that could be loaned to families with children in school. Members of the community sought to make more books available to children and worked to raise money for this purpose. By 1878, the library had grown enough to be moved into a separate building. An 1880 newspaper article boasted that the library owned over 1,400 volumes, but stated that the institution should own at least 5,000 volumes. In 1880, the association took out articles of incorporation to allow them to receive gifts and legacies. Growth of the library continued through 1890, when John Clarke, a Columbiana County native, sponsored a law allowing a property tax to be levied for the support of the Youngstown Library.
