Katie Whitehouse, Youth Services Librarian
Hi! I’m Katie Whitehouse. I am the Children’s Librarian here at GYRL. I live in Gilmanton and my husband's name is Justin, who was born and raised in this beautiful town. We have three amazing children; Hailey, Hannah and Coen. We also have a sweet dog named Evie and an adventurous cat named Tootie. I attended Western New England College and Grossmont College in pursuit of a Business degree. I also attended Marinello School of Beauty and am certified in Cosmetology. When I’m not at the library, I am either doing hair, coaching, bringing my kids to their extra curricular activities or simply enjoying time with my family and friends. I love to travel, hike, go boating, snowmobile, exercise, pray, and connect with people. There’s nothing better than a good laugh, a smiling face and a conversation! I have been bringing my children to the Gilmanton Year Round Library for the past 10 years. They grew up loving their librarians and have enjoyed all of the programs GYRL has to offer. I am happy to fill the big shoes of our lovely past Children's Librarians, to ensure our community continues to have a wonderful place to come together. I haven’t missed a day of reading to or with my kids, I enjoy that special bonding time together. I love reading and getting to know the children in the community. It's an honor to be able to make connections with them using the treasure of books. Stop by and say hello, or contact me at: katiegyrla@gmail.com |
Harmony Anderson, Assistant Librarian
Hello! My name is Harmony Anderson and I am the Assistant Librarian here at the Gilmanton Year Round Library. I am currently in college and working on getting my degree in library and information science.
Libraries are more than just reading, it is about community and I am very happy to be here at the GYRL to help in any way I can, whether that be helping a patron gather information for a project, participating in clubs, or even just recommending a good book.
When I'm not at work I love reading, covered bridge sightseeing, having conversations with my dog (Susie), gaming, and making art. You can contact me at harmonygyrla@gmail.com
