The Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia
The Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2022, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
This documentary tells the story of pack horse librarians - women hired by the Franklin Roosevelt's Work Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression to travel on horseback to deliver library books and magazines to people in Eastern Kentucky, braving creeks, mountains and inclement weather along the way. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Carolyn Tassie Memorial Fund.
