Library War Council

The United States Library War Council was founded in 1917 by the American Library Association as part of the Library War Service. Its aim was to raise funds as well as solicit books donations so that American troops overseas during WWI could avail themselves of library services while serving the country. The council's headquarters existed in the Library of Congress starting in October 1917.
