| 520 | |a "A Librarian's War is a biography of Ray Trautman, whose childhood in a rural town with no library and few books ignited a lifelong passion to ensure no one would struggle as he did to access reading materials. He nurtured his love of books as a bookseller, librarian, literacy educator, Army officer, and professor.
