Congress Urged To Finance Bookmobiles For Rural Areas
Congress is urged to appropriate 2 500 000 dollars to fund a nationwide bookmobile program bringing free library service to 35 million Americans, especially farmers in rural areas. The plan, backed by the American Library Association, would support planning and enthusiasm building with matched state funds, not direct mobile operations. A Louisiana parish example and an Alabama pipe fitting tale highlight the social value of access to books.
