description: "W.P.A. Libraries In Kentucky- With sixty-seven percent of the population of Kentucky without public library services, the advent of the Federal Works Program provided an opporotunity to reduce greatly this total. Faced with the necessity of finding immediate work for needy people, the program began many types of projects. / The first Packhorse Library was inaugurated in Leslie County in 1934. It met with instantaneous approval for it provided not only the desired work, but also a type of service that benefitted thousands of persons besides the workers themselves. / The second Packhorse Library was established in Harlan County and the program has developed until now there are forty-seven counties with county-wide library service operated by the W.P.A., and nine other counties in which W.P.A. personnel assistance is furnished to public libraries, thereby enabling them to extend their services."
