Description
The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (F.E.R.A.) provided assistance and conducted improvement work at the public library in Ashland, Massachusetts’s in 1934. “The assistance of the E.R.A. enabled us to have a good deal of almost necessary work done which we could not have paid for from the regular appropriation. The Library is much improved in consequence.” Some E.R.A. workers even rebound books for the library.
