A photograph of a young female library staff member and a young sailor smiling and looking at books from a cardboard box resting on a table. The side of the box reads '[AMERICAN] MERCHANT MARINE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.' There is also a picture of a ship on the box. The sailor is holding a copy of 'Days of our years.' He is in uniform. The young woman is wearing a striped dress and is holding a book in her hand. Behind them are shelves stacked with magazines. The donation of books to men aboard ships was coordinated by the Library.
