Hidden. by P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast | 
The book women would sometimes read aloud to families and groups, and they even provided reading lessons. The materials they carried were often donated, and old magazines and newspapers. By the end of 1938, there were 274 librarians serving 29 counties, and the project employed nearly 1,000 people by its end in 1943. This initiative left a lasting legacy, highlighting the importance of literacy and the dedication of these courageous women.
