TOLEDO, OHIO: An Ohio library has acquired a piece of art that will help celebrate the local connection to fictional kid detective Nancy Drew.
The painting created in 1931 as cover art for the fifth Nancy Drew book will now hang in the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library.
The book titled The Secret at Shadow Ranch was one of the Nancy Drew mysteries that Toledo newspaper reporter Millie Benson wrote under the pen name Carolyn Keene. Benson authored 23 of the first 25 Drew books.
The library had been looking for an original Nancy Drew cover for years and bought its find through an online auction in March with $9,500 in donations.
The painting will be displayed from today through the end of the year, when it will be sent out to be restored and preserved.

She wrote many of the books, but Nancy was created by Edward Stratemeyer, the guy who created the Hardy Boys. Keene was the original surname of the boys.
