Cover of Patti Clayton Becker: Books and Libraries in American Society during World War II (PDF)

World War II presented America”s public libraries with the daunting challenge of meeting new demands for war-related library services and materials with Depression-weakened collections, inadequate budgets and demoralized staff, in addition to continuing to serve the library”s traditional clientele of women and children seeking recreational reading.
