digi-shots Posted March 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2022 I’ve had this photo for quite a few years and never really knew what the initials on the woman’s hat stood for. Seems like she was a member of the American Library Association. From the ALA website… “In 1917, as the United States mobilized for war, the American Library Association identified a need for libraries on training bases”. As the US sent more soldiers overseas, the Library War Service went with them. The ALA established central library offices in Europe through which they provided troops and wounded soldiers with reading materials. I’d never heard of this before and find it a bit interesting. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
