Librarian Joe Crotts retired after a long career at Chico State Wednesday.
Crotts retired during his 44th year at the Meriam Library. His wife Brenda also recently retired from her job as a librarian at the Butte County Library.
Asked Friday how they like retirement so far, Crott said they have already been making the most of it.
“We’ve been in and out all day, we just got back from the movies,” Crotts said, “We’re going to see Jersey Boys tomorrow in Sacramento.”
Rather than any large plans, Crotts says he and his wife plan to take things relatively simple. He said he’s already enjoying his newfound free time.
Of travel, he says they don’t want, “…no around the world kind of trip,” he said.”We do want to go to all the different cultural events nearby and Chico that we couldn’t before because of that little thing called work.”

Joe,
I just discovered this article today. Congrats to you and Brenda. I have been retired for 20 years in May, 2021, and have enjoyed it immensely. Genny has been retired for 18 years.
Please give me a call at 336-998-6998 or 336-817-5463 if you will.
I have Alshiemers Disease, so if I don’t make it to the phone, please leave me a message and I will call back. I look forward to talking with you.
We live in Advance, NC about 10 miles West of Winston-Salem, at Oak Valley Country Club. We still go to Lake Norman where we have a summer house. You and Brenda used to go there and ride on my boat..
Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
