Description

A picture of Lovena Leavitt and her quilts. Lovena worked as the librarian at the elementary school in the early 1900s. She was lovingly called "The Library Lady" and was known throughout Mesquite for the little red wagon stuffed full of books that she would take home from the library every day. She is still fondly remembered by many of the older residents for instilling within them a deep love of reading.
