Down Cut Shin Creek: The Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky by Kathi Appelt, Jeanne Cannella Schmitzer

4.0

After recently reading [b:The Giver of Stars|43925876|The Giver of Stars|Jojo Moyes|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1572879113l/43925876._SX50_.jpg|68351635] which is a novel dealing with the pack horse librarians in Kentucky, I wanted to read some non-ficiton about them. I was unable to find a lot out there accessible to me, but came across this children's non-fiction by Ms. Appelt. One of the great things about this book is the pictures. They capture the difficult times in the mountains of Kentucky. This book gives a great brief history of the pack horse librarians and their challenges. I love that they were making a difference in people's lives.
