Library Staff
Our staff welcomes you to the Minot-Sleeper Library and invites you to stop by the main circulation desk. We are ready to help you find the perfect book, work on a research project, or get your devices set up with e-books, downloadable audiobooks and magazines, and streaming video. Thank you for making us a part of your community!

Jennifer Davis
Director

Jenna lives in Loudon with her husband and two puppers. She’s a lifelong lover of reading, crafting, gardening, quilting, yard sale-ing, learning new things, and talking to people. She does not like or excel at math. Her favorite color is Rainbow. Her second favorite color is Glitter. Never one to sneer at a good dad joke, Jenna loves to laugh and her humor is NOT for everyone. Her favorite quote is: To love and to be loved is to feel the sunshine from both sides.


Martha 
Youth and Patron Services Librarian

Growing up in a variety of places, Martha’s family finally settled in beautiful New Hampshire. After graduating from Plymouth State College, Martha owned her own business, Fresh From the Kiln Pottery.  She was Assistant Manager of Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith for almost 30 years. She and her birds (Pepe the Quaker parrot and Skylar the canary) moved to Bristol about 5 years ago, where she enjoys maintaining the downtown gardens and watercolor painting in her free time. 

Cindy
ILL/Circulation Librarian

Cindy has worked at Minot-Sleeper Library since 2002.  She enjoys working with all the wonderful people that come into the library.  When not at the library, Cindy enjoys music, old movies, quilting and spending time with her family.  She loves the sense of community that exists at the library.

Erica
Library Assistant

Erica is a Bristol resident and mother of three Newfound students. She believes the best part of working in a library is helping patrons connect with the information they seek and their community. She plays Mah Jongg on Wednesdays here at the MSL. When not at the library, Erica loves to cook and garden. She has 5 cats and 1,775 books in her home...so make what you will of that!
