For bob villa wannabe's

I know most of you are old...and mebbe someone has some carpenter skills. To make a long story short, I have 1000's of books (I'm a degenerate bibliophile - sue me) and I put up shelves on my den wall to hold some of them because you can only fit so many bookcases in one room. I'm probably moving from my condo in the next couple months but in removing one shelf, I'm left with a hole in the wall about the size of a half dollar in the drywall where the screw wasn't cooperative in coming out so I got pissed and yanked the fucker out.

Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this - or am I gonna have to call a carpenter? It's too big to just putty in, I tried that and it keeps falling into the wall when I sand it.
