Synopsis

This book analyzes the issues surrounding the need for a traveling library system to support the isolated and largely transient populations of miners and lumber workers in Ontario. The author stresses the need for these individuals to have the same access to libraries as those in towns and cities and discusses the various methods that could be used to create a system that works within the parameters of the seasonal work and lack of permanent addresses for these workers. The author also discusses the role of education in the lives of these workers, arguing that literacy is key to their social and economic advancement. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the labour history of Ontario, the history of libraries, adult literacy or the social and economic challenges faced by seasonal workers.
