Original Nancy Drew Cover Art at the Toledo Public Library

Nancy Drew Collector Mike Gauwitz has been loaning his cherished Nancy Drew original cover art paintings to the Toledo Public Library for display with my Jennifer Fisher Nancy Drew Collection for the past several years. New to be on display are this Rudy Nappi 2nd art cover for The Message in the Hollow Oak and the Russell H. Tandy first cover art for The Secret in the Old Attic. His Tandy cover for The Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion has been on display for several years. now.

The library owns the original Tandy art for The Secret at Shadow Ranch, purchased at an auction around 2009. It hangs from time to time in the JFND Collection Room in various spots as original cover art for Nancy Drew rotates through. 

Hop in your roadster and take a trip to Toledo to the downtown main library to view the artwork anytime. It's located in the second-floor children's wing. If you're able, join Nancy Drew fans for the 95th anniversary Nancy Drew Conference April 24-26, 2025 in Toledo. More details at the Nancy Drew Sleuths website www.nancydrewfans.com.
