Title	Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County Mother's Room Photographs
Subject	Ohio Women Literary Ohio Libraries First ladies Roosevelt, Eleanor, 1884-1962
Place	Youngstown (Ohio) Mahoning County (Ohio)
Description	These two 8" x 10" (20.32 cm x 25.4 cm) photographs show the Main Library's Mother's Room, circa 1935. The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County was one of the first in the nation to have a room devoted to helping women with issues of child-rearing, housekeeping, and other daily life concerns. After a visit to the library in October 1939, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt praised the library's work in creating the mother's room and wrote, "I wish there were such a room in every library." The Youngstown Library Association was established in 1880 with a collection of 168 volumes. After the city passed a levy in 1891, the library was able to expand and opened at the corner of Market and Front streets. The sale of the property in 1907, along with a gift of $50,000 from Andrew Carnegie, allowed the library to relocate to the corner of Wick and Rayen streets. The building underwent extensive remodeling in 1954 and 1995-1996.
