YUMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma County Board of Supervisors has appointed Delisa Ashley Jones as the county's new library district director, replacing Lisa Mendez.

The county said Jones held various roles within the library prior to his appointment, including serving as assistant director for four years.

“Libraries have been a part of my life since I was a little girl in a small town. Books have allowed me to have thousands of adventures without ever leaving the house.
