horse librarians during weekly report
gatherings at county library headquarters,
and included many contributions from library patrons along their routes. In 1940,
Vance writes, 2,653 scrapbooks were circulated among Pack Horse Library patrons.
"They became important cultural artifacts
that offer a window into the lives and
interests of readers in the Depression-era
Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky,"
Vance asserts.
In this way, worn-out reading material found new life-and allowed the Pack
Horse Librarians to conduct what Vance
calls "a unique, federally funded guerrilla
publishing programme."
You can't really know what pack horse
librarians accomplished in eastern Kentucky until you're on the roads they traveled. So I set out to find Cut Shin Creek in
Leslie County.
Confession: I did it mostly by car, allwheel drive. On real roads, albeit twisted
and potholed. With GoogleMaps. Even
so, it wasn't an easy climb up that singlelane gravel road, and I left with full appreciation for the Book Woman brand of
courage.

Roosevelt was a strong advocate of the Pack Horse Library
project: "If the women are willing to do things because it's going
to help their neighbors, I think we'll win out."
