Packhorse Library Program from 1934
These four women are seen starting a day's work as part of Roosevelt's 1934 "Packhorse Library Program" that would deliver thousands of books to families deep in the mountains of eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. We remember hearing stories from our grandparents about when the "book lady" would come by, and they said these were some of the kindest, most persistent women they'd ever met. Thank you for your work ladies!
