Libraries on Horseback

Linda Foster, retired teacher and history enthusiast, tells about the Libraries on Horseback Project, a WPA (Works Progress Administration) program that delivered books to remote regions in the Appalachian Mountains between 1935 and 1943. This was an important effort to bring books to remote regions that otherwise had little access to books. Music Credit: "Dialogues" by Rest and Settle Content Code ID: ORLQRXNZELXBTS7H
