A photograph of librarian Freda Germanson reading to children at the Albina Branch in 1942. They are all seated at a round wooden table. The boys and girls are bundled up in coats; the girls are wearing scarves except the girl on the left is wearing a hat. One boy is holding upright and resting his chin on a copy of 'Billy and Blaze.' Behind the group are books on shelves and four drawings hanging on the wall.
