Description: This photograph shows two men sitting at a table repairing books at the Cincinnati Public Library, Cincinnati, Ohio, on June 8, 1936. Both men are in shirtsleeves; the man on the right has dipped an instrument (probably a brush) into a tin of commercial paste. The books on the table are in various states of disrepair. Bookcases made of wood and glass are visible in the background. The Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) instituted a work relief program in library instruction and services. The library program was administered by its Division of Women's and Professional Projects. The program's goal was to demonstrate librarians’ techniques to underserved populations with new libraries, new bookmobiles, and newly bound books. Although WPA library demonstration projects nationwide served African Americans and the rural poor, WPA work crews in libraries remained segregated. The project also generated controversy. The "Bulletin of the American Library Association" reported that the bindery industry accused the WPA of “workstealing.” The bookbinding work shown here was titled “Project #16-31-699: W.P.A. Bookbinding project in Cincinnati Public Library, Cincinnati, Ohio." The library began as a subscription library in 1802. On March 14, 1853, it became the Cincinnati Public Library.

Description: Large group of men and several women gathered outside of Family Groceries in Waynesville, Ohio, during the Women's Temperance Crusade of 1873-1874. The women were protesting the sale of alcoholic beverages. The Temperance movement was an organized effort during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to limit or outlaw the consumption and production of alcoholic beverages in the United States. In 1874, a group of Cleveland women established the Women's Christian Temperance Union. This organization pressured the Ohio and federal governments to implement Prohibition, which would outlaw the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol. From the mid 1870s to the early 1890s, the WCTU was the major organization within the United States seeking Prohibition. Its members utilized rather extreme tactics to convince Americans to abstain from alcohol. Members picketed bars and saloons, prayed for the souls of the bar patrons, and also tried to block the entryways of establishments that sold liquor. By the 1890s, groups such as the American Anti-Saloon League had joined the Women's Christian Temperance Union in its push for Prohibition. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows the Y-Bridge in Zanesville, Ohio, covered in snow during winter. The bridge spans the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum Rivers, and carries the traffic of Route 40 (Main Street and West Main Street), as well as Linden Avenue. The first bridge was built in 1814 and has been reconstructed many times since the 1850s. After several iterations (some of them wooden covered bridges) were washed away, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers constructed a series of dams and locks to regulate the flow of the two rivers. The current concrete and steel bridge, the fifth in the same location, was opened in 1984. The bridge was listed on the National Registered of Historic Places on November 2, 1973.

Description: Photograph of members of the Harper Valley Mothers Club from the Columbus Free Press. Its caption reads, "Carol McCabe, Penny Nichols, Violet Reynolds and Chris Kennedy link arms on the site of the now-demolished Harper Valley Mothers Club. Distributed clothing free of charge on the near north side of Columbus until recently." The Harper Valley Mothers Club was a grassroots community organization connected with the Godman Guild which began around 1970, offering clothing and other resources and services to low-income Columbus families. The Columbus Free Press began as a bi-weekly publication in Columbus, Ohio, in 1970. An underground newspaper, it replaced the Ohio State University publication The People, Yes. The earliest known issue of the newspaper appeared on January 4, 1971. The newspaper underwent a series of name changes over the decades, with titles including the Columbus Free Press & Cowtown Times (1972-1976), the Columbus Freepress (1976-1992) and The Free Press (1992-1995). The paper, which covered many liberal and progressive causes, was an alternative to mainstream news sources in central Ohio with the slogan “The Other Side of the News.” In 1995, the paper ceased publication briefly before reemerging as a website in early 1996, and returning as a print publication under the Free Press title in the form of a quarterly journal in 1998. Published under various frequencies during the first part of the 21st century, the Free Press again became a nonprofit monthly publication in 2017 with both a print and web presence, published by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism and operated by a volunteer staff and board.
