Cincinnati native, Gail Collins is a columnist for the New York Times. From 2001-2007 she was editorial page editor of the paper--the first woman to have held that position. She is the author of several books on women's history including When Everything Changed and her most recent, No Stopping Us Now: The Adventures of Older Women in American History. Collins delivered the Library’s Harriet Beecher Stowe Lecture in 2004.

Mercantile Library Executive Director John Faherty was a journalist for 25 years before he became a Librarian.

In January 2020, Cincinnati Early Learning Centers and Children, Inc., united to become Learning Grove. They serve a racially and socioeconomically diverse population of nearly 7,000 children, youth, and families annually with programs across Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio.
