Due to renovations on the fifth floor of Carlson Library that required closing the floor for the summer, the exhibition titled “Wholly Toledo: The Business and Industry That Shaped the City” has been extended.

The exhibit, which includes documents, photographs and artifacts interpreting the history of Toledo’s economic development, will continue to be on display through Friday, Nov. 4, in the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections in Carlson Library.

Viewing hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A free catalog is available.

The program is made possible in part through the support of the Ohio Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

For more information on the free, public exhibition, contact Barbara Floyd, director of the Canaday Center, at 419.530.2170.
