In the spring issue of 1975, Volume 33 Number 1, editor Herbert Poole expresses sorrow at the loss of longtime librarian Ray Moore. Ms. Moore had a 42-year career as a librarian, including 21 years as the librarian of the Stanford L. Warren Public Library in Durham and 9 years as assistant director of the Durham County Library System.
