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. Learn more about the expansion of library services under Moore at the History of the Durham County Library and The History of the Stanford L. Warren Library webpages.  Ray Moore also served on the editorial board of North Carolina Libraries and was chair of the Intellectual Freedom committee for 1974-1975. After her death, the North Carolina Library Association’s executive committee authorized the establishment of the Ray Moore Award to recognize the best article on public librarianship published in North Carolina Libraries. The Ray Moore Award is presented at each Biennial Conference of the North Carolina Library Association. Find recent winners online at https://www.ncl.ecu.edu/index.php/NCL/Moore_Award.
