Kingsport Junior Book Club Collection, 1946-1991

KC Manuscript Collection 85

ABSTRACT:
The Kingsport Junior Book Club Collection consists primarily of minutes and six photographs taken in May 1991.  The group began meeting in September 1946.  Typically, the club’s members read twenty-four books during the year.  Most meetings were intended for book discussions, but from time to time, guest speakers were invited.  Minutes from 1946 through the mid-1960s are much more complete and thorough than those taken between the late 1960s and 1990.  The club still existed as of 2004.
