Priscilla Maltby Mayden, AHIP, FMLA, 1918-2011.

Priscilla's career as a librarian began as an undergraduate at Simmons College in Boston. She did not enter Simmons with the intention of becoming a librarian; rather, she was hoping to become a writer or journalist. However, in the midst of the Great Depression, these careers did not hold much promise, and Priscilla took advantage of the strong library program at Simmons and graduated with a bachelor of science degree with an emphasis in library science.
