Barbara Floyd will discuss her new book, The Glass City: Toledo and the Industry That Built It, Thursday, April 16, at 4 p.m. in Carlson Library’s Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections. In "The Glass City: Toledo and the Industry That Built It," she follows the first fledgling company that fired up furnaces in 1888 to the triumphant reign of three powerhouses — Owens-Illinois Inc., Libbey-Owens-Ford Co. and Owens Corning Corp. — that made the town the world leader in glass production, to when that supremacy started to shatter. Floyd will talk about The Glass City Thursday, April 16, at 4 p.m. in the Canaday Center and sign copies of her book, which will be for sale for $30 during a reception after the event. The free, public talk is part of University Libraries’ celebration of National Library Week and is co-sponsored by the UT History Department. |
