Description:
Elizabeth Drake, left, community librarian, and Willard Library volunteer Mrs. Herbert H. Hanson, deliver books to Frances DeMond. Demond received the books through the library’s “Books to Shut-ins” service, an outreach for library patrons unable to leave their homes. A story in the April 15, 1956, Battle Creek Enquirer and News marked the service’s first year and noted that 26 people used the outreach.
