Books for Appalachia Project Expands Nationwide
Batavia PTA reading and library chairwoman reports progress on Books for Appalachia sending up to one million books to 1200 one room rural schools in Kentucky and nearby states. Books travel via Railway Express Agency to Louisville then Barbourville with crates holding 100 volumes and act as bookcases later. Volunteers in Barbourville lead the distribution while local PTAs donate stones and Encyclopedias and schools collect hundreds of volumes for shipment before June 15.
