Suicide prevention: Thomas Worthington junior Andrea Nadolny s mural puts issue on display
A Worthington Schools student hopes her latest project will bring attention to suicide and mental health.
Andrea Nadolny, a Thomas Worthington High School junior, has partnered with the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation, the Worthington Parks & Recreation Department and others in the development of research, infographics and murals to bring awareness and promote education on the issue.
“I want to make people feel like they’re not alone,” Nadolny said. “I wanted to make sure people here in my community and locally had resources that were easy to find, accessible and really concise so you could understand what’s going on and how to get help.”

Just weeks after making the arduous trek from Granby, Connecticut, to Worthington in 1803, city founders established a subscription library for the community.
Although in its early days, there were no actual staff members, for nearly 125 years, Worthington Libraries has employed people who worked hard to make the library profession, the institution and the city better.
During Women’s History Month, learn more about just a few of the women who made Worthington Libraries the nationally recognized library system it is today.
The Fortnightly Club, a women’s Shakespeare study club, assumed management of the Worthington Reading Room and Library in November 1903. The next month, Mrs. B.C. McCullough, a club member, became the library’s first paid employee. In 1906, she oversaw the library’s move from space it occupied on the south side of the Kilbourne Building into rooms over Leasure’s Drug Store.
