Library Associate, Children's Services
Kami Miller kmiller@bethlehemlibrary.org
Kami joined the staff in 2022. She was born in New Hampshire, considers the White Mountains the place that speaks to her soul, and was thrilled to return to the area full time in 2013. Prior to her return home, she spent summers in the White Mountains with her large family that has very deep roots in the area. She studied liberal arts in the southeastern United States, and is excited to now be focusing on adding more Early Childhood Education and Literacy courses to her degree. Previously, she worked at various Children's museums and was the manager of the Children's Department of a nationwide bookstore. When she is not at the Library, she is reading, singing, listening to music, in the woods, at the lake, gardening, playing with her Australian Shepherd, and/or also spending time with her Cats, Husband, and Toddler.
Library ClerkLisa Stolte
A long-time patron, Lisa joined the library in the fall of 2021. She has lived in Bethlehem for 25 years, longer than any place else. Both her father and husband were in the USAF, so she's lived in California, Michigan, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Germany. But she has strong ties to New England; both parents were raised in Vermont. Prior to the library, Lisa worked at Dana Jewelry in Littleton for 21 years. She has always loved to read and getting a library card was one of the first things she did upon moving here. Her favorite books include romances, mysteries, and fantasy.
Library ClerkJane MacKay
Jane joined the library staff in January 2022. She has deep roots in Northern New Hampshire. Jane (Conway) grew up in Littleton, lived in Lancaster for 33 years, and now lives in Franconia. Jane graduated from UNH and received her master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois. Her pre-library career was in mental health, first as a therapist and later as Director of White Mountain Mental Health for 26 years. Jane and her husband Dennis, also a Littleton native, have two adult daughters. She reads all sorts of books, but especially tightly plotted mysteries and historical fiction. Jane’s non-reading time is spent walking/hiking, cross-country skiing, gardening and traveling.
