he Charles H. Moore Library of Lexington was opened in the present building January 17, 1903. Mrs. Mary Moore Sleeper, married to Albert E. Sleeper, governor of Michigan (1917-1920), along with her sisters Ella and Emma, deeded the property and building to the Village for library purposes only. They named it in honor of their father. The building had been constructed in 1859 by John Devine for his law office and was remodeled for a library during the early part of the 1900’s. The library was launched with 1300 books from Oscoda, donated by J. L. Wood, an uncle of the Moore sisters.(Submitted on December 14, 2022, by J.T. Lambrou of New Boston, Michigan.)
