Alicia is writing an informative text on the topic of the Pack Horse Library initiative, a mobile library program created during the Great Depression. Alicia gathered the following facts from her initial research:

Question

During the Great Depression, librarians rode on horseback into the Appalachian region of Kentucky and distributed reading material to the people otherwise isolated from schools and libraries. This program was called the Pack Horse Library initiative.
In 1936, packhorse librarians served 50,000 families and, by 1937, 155 public schools.
During the Great Depression, food, education, and jobs were scarce for people living in the Appalachian region of Kentucky.
In 1930, up to 31 percent of people in eastern Kentucky couldn’t read.
Electricity and highways in Kentucky were not as advanced as those in neighboring states.
Libraries for the Pack Horse program were housed in any facility that was available, from churches to post offices.
Librarians staffed these libraries, giving books to carriers who then rode their horses or mules and brought books to those living in the mountains.
Carriers rode out at least twice a month, with each route covering 100 to 120 miles a week.
Riders used their own horses and mules.
Riders earned $28 a month.
The books and magazines they carried usually came from outside donations.
Roads could be dangerous and impassable.
Health, strength, and reliability of the horses were a problem.
Some mountain families initially resisted the librarians, suspicious of outsiders/intruders.
1. How could Alicia organize these ideas for her report?

2. What headings could she use?

Answer 1

1. Alicia could organize these ideas by grouping them based on their relevance and related concepts. For example, she could group together facts about the purpose and impact of the Pack Horse Library initiative, facts regarding the challenges and logistics of the program, facts about the literacy rates and living conditions in the Appalachian region of Kentucky during the Great Depression, and facts related to the librarians and carriers involved in the initiative.

2. Alicia could use headings such as:
- Introduction and Background
- Purpose and Impact of the Pack Horse Library initiative
- Challenges and Logistics of the Program
- Living Conditions and Literacy Rates in the Appalachian Region
- Librarians and Carriers of the Pack Horse Library Program
- Initial Resistance and Perception of Outsiders
- Conclusion and Legacy of the Program
