A former teacher at several area schools will live on through the Little Free Library at St. Andrew’s School.
A ceremony on Tuesday, May 24 dedicated it to Elizabeth (Betty) Chambers George.
George taught at schools including Mary Mumford and Binford Middle. She died at the age of 95, leaving a legacy of her love of reading as well as money earmarked for literacy causes.
Members of the Richmond Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi, of which George was a member, donated the Little Free Library.
St. Andrew’s School is an independent elementary school in Richmond’s Oregon Hill neighborhood. It was founded by Richmond philanthropist and social reformer Grace Arents in 1894, specifically for families with low incomes.
