Priscilla's Shelf honors long-time Loveland
resident
and avid bookaholic Priscilla Beal.
Friends raised $8,000 to honor Beal on her 91st
birthday by buying the books and bags for the
library. Beal held book club meetings in
her home starting in 1965, led Junior Great Books
for 15 years, and started an Adult Great Books
group.
The baby-blue book bags feature a photo of
Priscilla.
