Posters supporting reading have been a regular subject for American artists all through the 20th Century. The subject was particularly popular during the Works Progress Administration (WPA) which was in existence from 1935 to 1943. Thousands of posters were created by the artists of the Federal Art Project, which was part of the WPA. Many of the reading and library posters that were created are on this site. The Library of Congress has the largest collection of WPA posters in existence.

Magnus Norstad created this pleasant image in the early 1900's. He was a Minnesota artist famous for one painting, "City on a Hill" which won a silver metal at the 1917 Exhibition of Northwestern Artists at the St. Paul Institute.
