Working at POW Camp in Bastrop
"Almost daily at least one returning service man comes to the library to see if his borrower's care is still there. That is a real pleasure for us. One of them, JESSE CURRINGTON, is still serving - at home. There are only two people on the headquarters staff now, which means the Bookmobile can't be taken out for regular trip. So, just for the month of December, Jesse Currington is again at his old job -- driving the Bookmobile."
