Administrative History
The Victory Book Campaign was a nationwide effort to collect books for distribution to members of the armed forces which was sponsored by the American Library Association, The American Red Cross, and the United Services Organizations for National Defense, Inc. Local libraries were used as collection centers for book donations during two separate campaigns in 1942 and 1943 in an effort coordinated in New York State by the Bureau of Library Extension.
