Raleigh WPA project turns women into expert bookbinders
Eighteen women in a WPA program under Mrs. T. C. Moore bound and repair library volumes for Raleigh county, reviving damaged books to be stronger and longer lasting. Donations from Beckley residents fund materials and labor, with a stunt night planned to raise more funds. The effort supports local libraries and school reading rooms, and volunteers have already mended over 4 000 volumes since July.
