This book is geared towards children and young adults. It does not, however, talk down to them and can be easily read by adults.Appelt and Schmitzer shed light on a little known part of the New Deal. In Kentucky, women were hired to transport books by horseback to out of the way places. It's a very interesting book and looks at what the work entitled as well as the influence it had in the future. If you are are interested in libraries or horses, this is a good book.
