METRO 25 MAHONING VALLEY LOST & FOUND

Tiny Central Square library met needs of growing city

BY SEAN T. POSEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

F

or decades, the remains of a formerly iconic structure from Youngstown’s Central Square sat decaying off U.S. Route 422 in Girard. The roof was long gone and the windows boarded shut. Only two sculptured tiles, each depicting an open book next to a lamp of knowledge, gave any indication to the uninitiated as to the building’s one-time use. However, for those of a certain generation, it would’ve been instantly recognizable.

The small building served Youngstown as the Central Square Library for over 30 years. A product of the Progressive Era, the branch emerged from the efforts of Joseph Wheeler, a distinguished graduate of the New York State Library School in Albany.

Wheeler was appointed acting librarian in 1915. In 1916, he helped open an early branch library inside the arcade of the Hippodrome Theater, a popular downtown vaudeville house. The small library consisted of two double bookcases behind glass doors. The station remained open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and attracted numerous patrons coming from the evening vaudeville shows.

The main library replenished the 1,200 books at the branch daily.

By 1919, demand at the Hippodrome Branch had grown too large for the arcade to accommodate any further growth. Wheeler soon struck a deal with the Youngstown Municipal Railway Co. to use a portion of a sheet steel waiting station, built to shelter patrons waiting for the trolley, to house a small Central Square Branch. Dubbed the ‘Tin Library,” it soon attracted a steady stream of patrons from around the “Diamond,” as the center of downtown was often referred to in those days.

The Tin Library held approximately 2,000 books and was heated by a small stove. Library trucks often made several trips a day in order to restock the branch’s inventory. At its peak, circulation reached over 70,000 volumes a year.

In 1922, during a bid to “clean off the Square,” Mayor George Oles called for the removal of the homely structure. The

Two main reasons were advanced for building a new branch: to beautify the square and to provide a more convenient location for workers to borrow books. Libraries were increasingly seen as tools in the Americanization process as well. And many city leaders, infused with ideals from the Progressive movement, now encouraged laborers to educate themselves.

“The big [main] library building frightens some people away, especially IMAGE COURTESY OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY OF YOUNGSTOWN AND MAHONING COUNTY foreign born people, or working men in Library patrons at the circulation desk in an undated image their overalls, who have a perfect right to use books but are afraid to ask for them,” said Herman Ritter, chairman of the Retail Board of the Chamber of Commerce. “These are the people who should be encouraged to read, for they are full of ambition that we can well use in the development of Youngstown.”

Wheeler defended his project by claiming that the new branch would save workers valuable commute time. “The people won’t come up on the hill,” he explained, referring to the distance to the main library from Central Square.

“It isn’t because they don’t want to. Most everybody here works, and losing half or three quarters of an hour on their way home to Rayen Avenue to select a book is a big item in a worker’s day.”

Politicians and some other prominent businessmen emphasized different reasons for approving the project. “My chief IMAGE COURTESY OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY OF YOUNGSTOWN AND MAHONING COUNTY The library was located in the northern section of Central Square near Dollar Bank reason for approving the plan, however, is the greatly improved appearance it will library reported in 1923 that 75,000 fewer a library on Central Square in 1923.

MAHONING VALLEY CENTRAL SQUARE LIBRARY MET NEEDS OF GROWING CITY LIBRARY, FROM PAGE 7 remind visitors that Youngstown is interested in books as well as dollars,” said A.E. Adams, president of First National Bank.

Not everyone in the business community agreed. E.C. McMahon, owner of a piano company on East Federal Street, opposed plans for the library, stating that Central Square should be reconstructed to more adequately reroute traffic through the center of downtown. He complained that the branch library would make that too difficult, thus hurting business on the east end of downtown.

But such voices were in the minority, especially when library officials explained that the building could be constructed at no cost to taxpayers and that it was intended to be easily movable – in case planners sought to redesign Central Square in the future.

All materials and labor were donated by local contractors or paid for with donations, and work on the $10,000 structure began in the early fall of 1923. The green tile roof and white-glazed terra cotta building was meant to resemble the Butler Institute of American Art. The walls of the well-built precast shell were 18 inches thick. The building’s height was capped at 14 feet to avoid blocking views from either the north or south.

Lights were placed under the eaves to broadly illuminate the library, which the Youngstown Vindicator soon described as “the outstanding feature of our public square.” The lighting made the library highly visible at night without obscuring its architectural details. The branch formally opened on Dec. 8, 1923.

The library held 5,000 volumes. Unlike the branch in the Hippodrome, most of the books covered technical subjects, business and other works of nonfiction. Patrons could reserve books from the main library and have them sent to Central Square as part of two daily deliveries. Like the former Hippodrome Branch, it operated from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

The branch boomed along with downtown during the Roaring Twenties. At that time much of retail and civic life was centered in the central business district.

“All the lodges and clubs were downtown,” Youngstown resident Edward 8 MetroMonthly.net / January 2018

Manning later recalled. “The doctors, dentists and lawyers were all downtown. A good many of the churches were on Wood Street or in the downtown section.”

The opening of more branches throughout the city, especially the opening of the

new South Side Library in 1929, affected circulation at the Central Square Branch.

However, its numbers soon rebounded and continued to grow – even during the height of the Great Depression. In 1939, circulation numbers at Central Square

were higher than at any other branch in the county, with the exceptions of the Struthers and South Side libraries.

Mechanical books, heavily featured at the Central Square Branch, led in circulation during the latter part of the Great Depression. Books on foreign countries where American troops were stationed during World War II proved popular during the 1940s, according to library reports.

By the early 1950s, the city once again began discussing the possible reconfiguration of Central Square. Proposals were put forward to move both the library and the much beloved Civil War memorial, known popularly as the “Man on the Monument,” from the islands downtown. Keeping Central Square beautiful now took a backseat to the need to ease traffic congestion downtown. In 1953, a precipitous drop in funding for the library system, and a decline in circulation of 1,463 books at the Central Square Branch, caused the eventual closing of the library in 1954. Throughout its life, the little library circulated well in excess of two million books.

The building was sold to Boccia Construction and Demolition Co. of Niles, and after three decades, one of the public library’s most successful experiments came to an end. Countless workers and newly arrived immigrants were exposed to new worlds through the literature distributed by the Central Square Library.

And long after the “Diamond” became refashioned as Federal Plaza, memories of the library and old Central Square remained a fond memory in the minds of generations of Youngstowners.

PERSONAL FINANCE Online communications bring new legal challenges H

ow have social media and electronic communication brought about new legal challenges?

Online communication has become a hotbed for litigation, in part because people believe they can hide their identities behind a computer or smartphone screen. Many users are discovering, however, that their online fouls can cross over the line into actionable, illegal conduct. Social media has become a primary communication tool in our culture, and has resulted in new types of lawsuits. For example, employees have been terminated from employment for communications or disclosures made via social media, and individuals have been sued for defamatory statements they have made via social media.

What kind of online statements can expose someone to liability?

Social media is a fairly new communication tool, but the law regarding communication has not changed. The term Twibel, a combination of “Twitter” and “libel” has been adopted to describe this mix of social media communications and old law. Libel is defaming someone (publishing a false statement of fact that harms another’s reputation or business) through written or printed words, pictures, or any form other than the spoken word. Twibel is simply libel that is committed through a social media communication tool.

In one Twibel suit, a real estate

BUTTONS, BADGES & BULLYING: WHAT’S ALLOWED AT WORK ?

■ My employer said a shirt I wore to work was offensive and that I wasn’t allowed to wear it anymore. Can my employer keep me from wearing my shirt?

Generally, an employer can restrict employees from wearing clothing that is disruptive, discriminatory or offends customers. However, your employer must consistently apply business-related reasons for such decisions and must not restrict employees’ rights to communicate about matters of common concern in the workplace.

■ So, do I have the right to communicate my ideas about matters of common concern in the workplace?

company brought a $50,000 suit against a tenant for tweeting this: “Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? [The real estate company] thinks it’s okay.” The court dismissed the case, finding the tweet was “too vague to meet the legal standard for libel.” Others cases have been similarly unsuccessful.

Twibel cases are reviewed just like old-fashioned print defamation cases, and courts still want to see proof of damage to reputation. If the plaintiff (the person bringing suit) cannot prove that his or her reputation was damaged, then the court usually will dismiss the case, unless the defamatory statement is a per se statement. A per se statement is a communication that is very obviously damaging. For example, if someone wrote that the plaintiff has a sexually transmitted disease, the court might decide that damages are inferred even if not proven.

The outcome of a defamation case is also affected by whether or not the person claiming defamation is a public figure. Courts rarely decide that a public figure has been defamed because a public figure is considered a “fair target” for defamatory statements. To be awarded damages in a defamation case, a public figure must prove that a defamatory statement was not only damaging, but that it was made with malicious intent. This private vs. public distinction figured in the very first Twibel trial in 2014. The attorney for

The National Labor Relations Act, which generally governs relations between unions and employers, says that employees of private companies or other entities have the right to communicate with each other about the terms and conditions of their employment. The law describes such communications as “protected concerted activity”; “concerted” refers to employees communicating with each other about the workplace. (Government employees have similar rights because of their right to association under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.)

Even if your communications do not involve the immediate presence of another employee, they are considered to be “concerted.” This means that the law can actually protect items of clothing that convey

deceased musician Kurt Cobain’s estate brought a defamation suit against Courtney Love, Cobain’s spouse. In that case, the judge determined that Cobain’s estate attorney was a public figure. The judge’s determination meant that the attorney had to prove Love’s defamatory statement was made “with actual malice, meaning that she intentionally made a false statement, knowing it was false, or that she acted without regard to its truth or falsity. The jury determined that Love had not made the statement “with actual malice,” but if she had made the same statement about a private figure, the jury may well have decided against Love.

Can I be held liable for statements I make on anonymous review sites like Yelp and Angie’s List?

Yes. Online communication suits also concern online reviews attached to products and services reviewed on the Internet through sites like Yelp, Citisearch, and Angie’s List. However, you would have to make a false statement of fact, not opinion. Defamation lawsuits must be about false statements of fact. In one of the first cases of this type (Dietz v. Perez), a Virginia contractor filed a $750,000 defamation lawsuit against a blogger. Through Angie’s List, the blogger had not only accused the contractor of poor work, but also of trespassing and stealing. The blogger filed a countersuit, also alleging defamation.

a message, even if you are not speaking or writing to other employees about the message on the shirt.

■ So, exactly what kinds of communications does this law protect?

This right is not unlimited, however. For example, if the employer reasonably believes that the communication would harm the company’s relationship with its customers or its public image, then the employer may restrict employees’ communications. In one recent court decision, the court approved an employer’s decision not to allow workers who interacted with customers to wear shirts that suggested the workers were prisoners of the company. The court acknowledged that such shirts could hurt the company’s relationship with its customers.

■ Can a worker wear a

At trial, the jury decided that both sides had defamed each other, but neither was awarded damages. Eventually, the blogger took down the scathing review. In the court’s ruling, the judge wrote that it was not his job to rule on free speech, but that the blogger’s actions had endangered people’s ability to write freely in online reviews: “If you want to chill free speech, keep it up, because eventually one of these companies is going to win big That will chill free speech, when somebody is hit with a huge monetary verdict.”

union button or shirt or while at work?

Protected concerted activity generally would include expressing support for a union or communicating about matters relating to a union.

■ How do employees and employers know which communications are allowed and which are not?

It is difficult to determine when an employer may reasonably restrict communications, and it can also be difficult for employees to know whether communication is about the terms and conditions of employment or simply an attack on the employer or another employee. For example, attacking a supervisor on Facebook probably would not be protected concerted activity if the communication does not relate to some aspect of the employment relationship. However, courts

If you are an employee, use common sense about what you are communicating and recognize that your right to communicate is not unlimited. If you are an employer, it is wise to consult with your lawyer before taking action against an employee for acts that involve communication.

■ Does my employer have to stop certain communications?

Yes. Employees have a right

to work in an environment free of discrimination based on any protected class. Therefore, your employer must take reasonable measures to stop any communications that discriminate based on race, national origin, gender, age, religion or disability. Your employer might be found to be creating an unlawful hostile work environment for failing to stop such communications.
