Worlds' Alliance of YMCAs Book Room for Traveling Libraries

Notes:

A World's Alliance secretary is compiling a list of books which will be sorted into traveling libraries and forwarded to prisoners assigned to labor detachments. The Association scoured Europe in search of pre-war books (which would receive faster approval from prison camp censors) in exotic languages (such as Russian, Serbian, and Georgian).
