The Book Women

An Alchemy Theatre children’s production, written by Rachel Bublitz. In the midst of the Great Depression, in a community crushed by the collapse of coal, and isolated by the very mountains they call home, a group of determined librarians take to their horses to reach the people of Eastern Kentucky. With a dedication equal to the US Postal Service, these “Book Women” deliver more than the books and magazines they carry in their saddlebags. They bring hope.
