After an opening chapter on the New Deal and WPA programs, a lengthy second chapter (half the book) is a fictionalized account of one workday for a pack-horse librarian as she brings well-worn books and magazines to a mountain community. Subsequent chapters offer information about the program, and numerous archival photos add interest. Bib.
