Synopsis
Mary Lemist Titcomb, a dedicated librarian in Maryland, believed everyone deserved access to books, not just those in town. Concerned about the 25,000 rural residents in her county, she revolutionized the library system. Her most groundbreaking idea was the horse-drawn Book Wagon, America's first bookmobile, which brought literature directly to people's homes and inspired similar initiatives nationwide.
