What happens when a determined Montana librarian decides that lumberjacks working deep in the mountains deserve something good to read?
In the 1920s, Ruth Worden helped bring books to remote logging camps through one of Montana's most unusual innovations: a traveling railroad library. Complete with bookshelves, a heated reading room, and living quarters for its librarian, the Lumberman's Library became a popular stop among the workers.
Join Montana Max as he uncovers the story of the skeptical lumber boss, the hardworking readers, and the original railroad car that still survives at Fort Missoula.
