A gripping look at a historic effort to bring books to workers in Ontario’s lumber and mining camps.

This nonfiction work chronicles the traveling library idea and its growing network of reading camps across the province.

Based on letters and reports from early 1900s volunteers and business leaders, the book shows how libraries in camps aimed to educate, elevate morale, and connect isolated workers with literature. It highlights the practical steps, the support from lumber companies and local communities, and the push to extend public library principles to new, distant workplaces.

How traveling libraries were proposed, funded, and expanded across camps.
Examples of reading camps and the roles of camp managers and workers.
The range of voices—from educators to businesspeople—that supported the movement.
The hoped-for social and educational impact on lumber and mining communities.

Ideal for readers of Canadian social history and the development of public libraries in remote regions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
