Abstract
The day after the Armistice of 1918 was signed ending World War I, the Book Committee on Children’s Libraries was established by a group of American women. The committee’s relief efforts focused on the establishment of children’s libraries in order to help with the “educational reconstruction” of Belgium and France. This article focuses on the first of these children’s libraries, L’Heure Joyeuse Brand Whitlock, and the ways in which it became a site of educational and social reform.
