Ana Lash, Library Director
alashhpl@gmail.com
Ana Lash was born in Nevada, but is really an Arizona “native.” She moved to Colorado for this Library Director job! Having never seen or walked in snow, it was a life-changing decision. She began working in a public library in Casa Grande, Arizona part time and graduated from Central Arizona College, Arizona State University with a degree in Liberal Arts/English, and a post baccalaureate degree in Secondary Education from Northern Arizona University after her kids got older. She was fortunate to be offered a chance to earn a Master’s degree from the University of Arizona in a newly created program called “Knowledge River” which was designed to help librarians who worked with minorities (which in Hayden, Arizona, she did!). She moved to Hayden, Colorado in September of 2004. She says, “it has been wonderful living and learning about this beautiful town and state.” Libraries and reading have always been her passion.

Libby Beach, Librarian Assistant

My name is Libby Beach. A native of Colorado. I grew in Southwestern Colorado exploring the Ute Mountain Ute Indian reservation and all of its historical sites as well as the La Plata and San Juan mountain ranges. I love the outdoors and you can find me there almost every weekend. Some of my favorite activities include camping, hiking, and kayaking. I absolutely love reading and I make my way through about 150 books a year and I just love finding all of the new and interesting titles at the library, but my greatest pleasure on Earth is the time that I get to spend with my grandchildren.
