Packhorse librarians

5 stars, Packhorse librarians THE LIBRARIAN'S JOURNEY Including LOVES TURNING PAGE by Cynthia Hickey IN THIS MOMENT by Patty Smith Hall BOOK LADY OF THE BAYOU by Marilyn Turk THE LAWMAN AND THE LIBRARIAN by Kathleen Y'Barbo This is a nice collection of novellas are all set in 1936 during the Great Depression, as FDR (the 32 of the US) implemented the Packhorse Librarian program. Each novella is set in a different place, the Ozark Mountains, Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky. Though the WPA program officially administered the Packhorse project in the remote hills of Appalachian Kentucky, similar programs could have been implemented in other places. Each of the four women in this compilation suffered from a lack of love and a lack of funds. Each one needed a new adventure in their lives. Highly recommend. I like to read all of the written stories about Packhorse Librarians and understand how their lives were in this daring program. #netgalley #barbourpublishing kindly provided me with a complimentary copy of #thelibrariansjourney I was under no obligation to post a review.
