This is based on a true story of how a group of women in Kentucky brought books from their little city library to rural areas where people had never had books. For people who value books, it is touching. The story is also about strong women who battle chauvinistic tendencies in that era. It is an unusual group of personalities and there are lots of side stories along the way. The women were known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky.
