The Nashua Public Library Board of Trustees has appointed Jennifer Hinderer director of the library. The Nashua Public Library staff is pleased to welcome her aboard.

Jennifer, who started in the position on January 25, was previously director of the Tewksbury Public Library in Massachusetts. During her 17 years in the library profession, she has served as assistant director and reference librarian at the Amesbury (Mass.) Public Library, and has worked at the Exeter Academy and Seabrook Libraries.

"I am very excited about the prospect of directing a library in New Hampshire," she says," and the opportunity to be part of the library profession in my home state."

Jennifer is convinced that outreach and cooperation are essential to maximizing a library's effectiveness in the community. A member of Rotary International, she was the president of the Tewksbury, Mass., chapter. She also served as vice president of the executive board of the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium.

Jennifer received her master's degree in library and information science from Simmons College and a bachelor's degree in history from the University of New Hampshire. She replaces Joseph Dionne, who retired in June.

Feel free to stop by the administration office, downstairs across from the elevator, to talk to Jennifer about any library matter.
