Scope and content
In October of 1926, three Junior League women show a passage in a book to an older gentleman in a wheelchair while a nurse looks on. The man is covered with a blanket stamped "Tacoma General Hospital." The book has been removed from a rolling cart used to transport the books from room to room for selection. One of projects of the Junior League was a traveling library maintained at Tacoma General Hospital. Two times a week, members of the library committee, chaired by Mrs. Frank Buckley (believed to be pictured center of the back row), visited the hospital and took the specially constructed set of shelves on wheels loaded with books from room to room.
