The unique Travel Section was established in 1926 and featured not only travel pamphlets, but also “selected volumes on the history, geography, and society of the major countries of the world.” In 1928, the Eastman established the Business Information Bureau. This space served not only as a research facility for Cleveland’s businesspeople, but also as a vocational resource center. In addition to creating special collections and services, Eastman took steps to extend the reach of the library, establishing in 1926 a service to distribute books to hospitalized readers.
