The following is a list of books and other publications that have been donated to Pine Mountain Settlement School in honor of Elizabeth “Libby” Culbreth’s 30-plus years as a member of the PMSS Board of Trustees.

Libby’s colleagues on the Pine Mountain Settlement School Board of Trustees, in recognition of her dedicated service to Pine Mountain, have established this memorial book collection in her name. The ELIZABETH CULBRETH APPALACHIAN BOOK COLLECTION is based on titles that Libby identified among her Appalachian favorites, or that were in her possession, or were newly purchased from funds generously donated by members of the BOT. A small set of books in her collection were given to Libby over the course of her service to Berea College and to Pine Mountain and include signed editions by the authors and editors who knew and worked with Libby and shared her enthusiasm for regional fiction and non-fiction.

A bookcase to hold the collection has been placed in the Archive room at the Library (formerly Boys House) and books may be checked out on request made with the School’s Office Secretary. Special acknowledgement is made to VISTA Volunteer Emily Masters who assisted in preparing the collection and arranging for the housing of the ELIZABETH CULBRETH APPALACHIAN BOOK COLLECTION in the archive.
