Answer:She was named Annie after an aunt, and officially changed her name to Anne in her fifties, to avoid confusion with Annie E. Moore, another woman who was also publishing material about juvenile libraries at that time.[2] From 1906 to 1941 she headed children's library services for the New York Public Library system. Moore wrote Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story, one of two runners-up for the 1925 Newbery Medal.Moore was born in Limerick, Maine. She had seven older brothers and was the only surviving daughter[a] of Luther Sanborn and Sarah Barker Moore.[4] She described her childhood as a happy one and wrote about growing up in My Roads to Childhood.[4] Moore began her formal education at the Limerick Academy in Maine. She then attended a two-year college, The Bradford Academy in Massachusetts.[4] She was very close to her father[b] and hoped to follow in his footsteps as a lawyer,[c] despite the biases of her era.[5]

When the death of both her parents[d] and a sister-in-law[e] made her plans to become a lawyer unattainable, she spent several years helping her now widowed brother Harry raise his two children.[4] Her brother suggested that she consider the emerging profession of librarian, so Moore applied to the State Library School in Albany, N.Y., but lacked the program's educational requirements. Undaunted, she then applied to the Pratt Institute Library in Brooklyn where she was accepted into the one-year program (1895)[4] under Mary Wright Plummer.In 1896 Moore graduated from Pratt, and accepted an offer to organize a children's room at that same institute, partly due to a paper which Lutie E. Stearns had presented at the 1894 meeting of the American Library Association (ALA), "Report on the Reading of the Young".[5] Up to this point children had usually been considered a nuisance in library settings, and often were excluded from libraries until they were at least 14 years of age.[5] As part of her research into the proposed children's room, Moore visited kindergartens (also a new concept at the time), toured various ethnic neighborhoods in the area, and even questioned children whom she encountered on the street.[5] Moore then set out to create a welcoming space for children with child-sized furniture, open stacks, cozy reading nooks, story times, puppet shows, summer programming, quality juvenile literature and perhaps most importantly, librarians committed to working with children.[7] When Moore opened the children's room it drew a line of children circling the block awaiting entry.[7] In 1900 she attended a meeting of the American Library Association (ALA) and helped to organize the Club of Children’s Librarians. She served as the Club’s first chair. This club later became the ALA Children’s Services Division.Moore remained at the Pratt library for ten years. In 1906 she moved to the New York Public Library, having accepted the position of Superintendent of the Department of Work with Children, which Director Dr. John Shaw Billings had offered to her. This rather unwieldy title placed her in charge of children's programming at all NYPL branches as well as overseeing the Central Children's Room, which opened in 1911.[5]

Moore also developed a training program for children's services staff: the "Qualification Test for the Children's Librarian Grade".[9] This six-month program included practical training, readings and discussion.[9] She organized hundreds of story times, compiled a list of 2500 Standard Titles in Children's Literature, and she lobbied for and received permission to loan books to children. The children were required to sign a ledger promising to treat books respectfully, and to return them; "When I write my name in this book I promise to take good care of the books I use in the Library and at home, and to obey the rules of the Library."[5] She also initiated a policy of inclusion, celebrating the ethnic diversity of her patrons through story times, poetry readings and books that celebrated the various backgrounds of recent immigrants to the city.[5] She believed her job was to provide, “to the children of foreign parentage a feeling of pride in the beautiful things of the country his parents have left.” By 1913 children’s books accounted for a third of all the volumes borrowed from the New York Public Library’s branches.
