The Jan. 18, 1968, Observer has a photo of Hazel Moore who is retiring as a staff member of Morenci’s Stair Public Library. She served as librarian for only four years, bur she was a trustee since 1946 and often filled in as a substitute librarian. She was instrumental in developing programs for children.

In her retirement letter, she said that she regretted leaving the work that had been such a large part of her life, but this would give her more time to read library books.
