Theodore Wesley Koch

War Service of the American Library Association (1918) is a historical account of the American Library Association's (ALA) contribution to the war effort during World War I. Written by Theodore Wesley Koch, this book provides a detailed description of the ALA's efforts to provide books and reading materials to soldiers and sailors serving in the war. The book includes information on the establishment of camp libraries, the selection and distribution of books, and the challenges faced by the ALA in providing services to soldiers in the field. It also highlights the role of librarians in the war effort, including their work as camp librarians and their efforts to promote literacy among soldiers. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the ALA and its contribution to the war effort, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the history of libraries and their role in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
