Description
Like so many libraries across the country, the main branch of the Detroit Public Library undertook a massive effort to collect tens of thousands of books for the 1942 Victory Book Campaign. In a matter of weeks, over 6,000 books were collected at this library, alone. Here, the head librarian of the Detroit Public Library watches as boxes of books are transferred to Army custody.
