Livingston Reads Program - Pack Horse Librarian Scrapbooks
by Jennifer Osborne 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hi everyone, Next Wednesday, March 17, as part of the annual Livingston Reads One-Book-One-Community, the Brighton District Library will host a virtual program on pack horse librarian scrapbooks. Professor Jason Vance from Middle Tennessee State University will share findings from his research on scrapbooks created as part of the Kentucky Pack Horse Libraries project that ran from 1936-1943. Pack horse librarians assembled these scrapbooks using local recipes, hand-drawn quilt patterns, and clippings from donated magazines. The scrapbooks then became part of the pack horse libraries’ circulating collections. To register: https://bit.ly/livreadspack The 2021 Livingston Reads book selection is *The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek* by Kim Michele Richardson. Visit livingstonreads.org for more information. Click here for the poster. <http://brightonlibrary.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Packhorse-Librarian-…> Jennifer Osborne Head of Adult Services Brighton District Library 810-229-6571 x225 josborne(a)brightonlibrary.info
