Books and Bridles: The Story of the Horseback Librarians presented by Jeffrey Urbin Online
The Roosevelt era’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) is known for its many huge infrastructure projects and improvements. But it also consisted of a little known program called the Packhorse Librarians. In honor of Library Card Signup Month, this virtual presentation tells the story of the Packhorse Librarians, a relatively small group of women, whose mission was to deliver and distribute reading materials to the far-off corners of Appalachia during the darkest hours of the Great Depression.
Q&A included. Presented by Jeffrey Urbin, Education Specialist for the Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.
