"No Gas! Reading is not Rationed. Let's Go Read! Kalamazoo Public Library"

lakecountylibrary

[ID: A black and white scan of a card produced by Kalamazoo Public Library with three panels, illustrated in 1940s style: The first shows a person looking at a gas pump with a No Gas! sign hung on it. The second shows the same person walking away with the text Reading is not rationed. Let's go read! The third panel shows the person walking up steps under a grand arch, to the library. Kalamazoo Public Library is typed in all caps along the bottom. /ID]

This is such a neat piece of history, I reached out to Kalamazoo Public Library to try to learn more about it. Ryan Gage at their local history department took up the challenge. He had to do some digging to find it but he persisted and eventually found a trace of it in the library archive scrapbooks! Here's what he shared:

The Reading is Not Rationed card was produced by KPL's director of public relations. This was a two-color card placed in Kalamazoo buses beginning in the spring of 1943. Tire and gasoline rationing meant the trend of local bus travel would be definitely upward.

The library didn't save any copies of the card for their own archives, so it's extra cool to see it preserved here!

*Valley Girl voice*: I must, like, not fear. Fear is literally the mind-killer. Like it’s basically the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will totally face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and? When it’s gone? I’m gonna like turn the inner eye to see its path! Where the fear has gone there will be literally nothing. Only I will remain.
