Bridget Stone
Library Director She/Her I’m Bridget Stone, I grew up in Underhill and spent 4 years as Children’s Librarian at Essex Free Library engaging kids and families. I said "SHHH!" only once. I weave my background in Literature and Education into listening carefully to the art and beauty in everyone’s words. All of our stories matter; they are how we create, recreate and remember. Our stories are the interior world we inhabit, and the foundation of our lived world. I start every day with a smile on my face because there is always something new to learn. I am eager to use my life to the benefit and service of others. This is more than a job; I’m thrilled to join the mission of Georgia Public Library as a thriving community hub of gathering, learning, fun, reflection and growth. |

Megan Jamison
Lead Library Assistant He/They I grew up coming to the Georgia Public Library often, and it's so exciting to be working here now! Since middle school, I have been fascinated by library organization and structure. In 7th grade, I assisted in the GEMS library and that is still one of my fondest memories! I started here at the Georgia library as a substitute, and now have made my way up to library assistant. If middle school Megan who had memorized the Dewey Decimal number for cats (636.8) could see me now, I think they'd be very happy! I'm so glad to be here and I can't wait to help you find all the books your heart desires! |

Board of Trustees

Terry Cleveland
Chair She/Her |
I have been a resident of Georgia since 2010, after living in Colchester for thirty-two years. I am semi-retired as an accountant/bookkeeper, owning my own business.
I am an avid reader, belonging to a long-established book club, and a writer that meets twice a month with my writing group. In my spare time, I garden, swim, and take long walks in town. As a library Trustee, I hope to continue to support the well-being of the library as well as to act as a liaison with the town as the library works towards building a sustainable budget to address the immediate needs that they are experiencing. |

Sara Walker Vice Chair She/Her |
I've been been a resident and involved member of the community of Georgia since falling in love with the town and buying a home here with my husband, Joe, 6 years ago. Together we are raising two wonderful little book-lovers.
Since arriving in Georgia, I've been involved with many local organizations including the Georgia Playgroup, the Georgia PTCO, Neighbors for Georgia, and have recently become a Pre-K substitute for GEMS. The Georgia Public Library was one of the first places I visited after moving to town. An unabashed book-lover, I began frequenting the library, soon becoming a part time volunteer, and eventually accepting a permanent position as lead library assistant. After leaving this position, I knew my mission at the library was not complete and I am now proudly serving my second term on the Library Board of Trustees. |

I’m delighted to serve as a Trustee with the Georgia Public Library. I bring to the table experience with school and public libraries from cities, suburbs and rural areas across the country. From a young age I developed a love of books, libraries, bookstores and all things reading. My background is in Child and Family law, and I believe everyone should have access to a robust variety of reading materials- and a stellar library to read them in! I moved to Georgia with my family in 2021 and have been active in the community as a GEMS substitute teacher, PTCO Book Fair co-chair, Town Health Officer and Zoning Clerk, and volunteering with the local Girl Scouts and Boy Scout troops. My husband Chris and I have two children who also love to read, and we enjoy being a part of the GPL family.
