Down Cut Shin Creek: The Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky by Kathi Appelt

4.0

This is a children's/young adult book about a WPA program that existed in Kentucky during the Depression. It follows the story of a hardy group of women (and a few men) who rode horses into the Appalachian hills and mountains to bring books to the people there.

It's an incredibly inspiring story with some great photographs. It's a short read. You can read it in about half an hour, but it's still a neat story. Plus there are some great references in the bibliography.
