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

4.0

This is a juvenile books I read in about a half hour. A librarian recommended it to me and I'm thrilled he did. I've been trying to learn more about recent American history and this was a fascinating snapshot of a little-known New Deal program. I loved the idea of dedicated librarians delivering books via horseback and pack mule to their rural neighbors. The photobacks are fantastic as well.
