Down Cut Shin Creek: The Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky by Kathi Appelt
5.0
I've wanted to read this ever since I read [b:That Book Woman|3002254|That Book Woman|Heather Henson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348795952s/3002254.jpg|3032748], so I was happy to come across it on the shelves at my new library. What a great book! The text is straightforward and simply written with wonderful photographs spread throughout.
The pack horse librarians of Kentucky were a hardy group of women! I wonder what they would think about the problems libraries are facing now? Although seeing the hardships they faced really helps to put some perspective for me on the tough times we face today. I don't have the budget I would like for new books, but I can check out multiple books to every student and still have full shelves. And I don't have to ride a horse through freezing rain to get those books to my patrons. Every librarian or fan of libraries should read this book!
