Secretary
Member Kathleen Bergeron
Kathy and her family have lived in North Conway for many years. One of the first places they visited was the North Conway Library. Kathy started volunteering at the library when her girls were young. As time went on, she became a board member holding different offices including treasurer and president. After a hiatus she returned to the board in 2021 as the treasurer. Her background in finance and human resources have helped the library grow and transition from a small library to the wonderful institution it is today. Her other interests and community activities include the Materials Girls Quilting Group, Mountain Garden Club and Our Lady of the Mountain Finance Committee.

Member Neill Osgood
Neill is proud to hold Life Membership card #91, having been a patron of the Library since primary school, . The library was an integral part of life in the Osgood home. A particularly fond childhood memory he shares with his brother Charlie was the family tradition that every Friday afternoon was the “Library & Laundry” trip to town. Their parents, Charles and Patricia, would take turns, one would stay at the Seavey St. Laundromat putting through the week’s wash (book in hand of course) while the other would walk several blocks with the brothers to the NCPL to choose their books for the week to come!
Over the last 20 years Neill has enjoyed volunteering and serving on the Boards of a variety of non-profits, including 12 years as a Trustee for his alma mater The White Mountain School in Bethlehem NH.
After graduating from White Mountain he went on to earn a B.A. in psychology from Plymouth State University. Serving on the Library Board is particularly meaningful to Neill as he’s following in his Father’s footsteps; Charles served for 24 years on the NCPL Board of Directors and Committee of Donated Funds.
Member Linda Walker
Linda moved to North Conway with her husband David (Doc) Walker in 1968 and has three adult children and five grandchildren. Linda is still selling real estate after 42 years and taught in the local school system for 32 but has retired from teaching. Linda is active in the White Mt Board of Realtors, in Arts Jubilee, in Mt Top Music and the Mt. Washington Valley Band. Linda heads up Christmas Stocking Project whose goal is to get sponsors for 40-50 local children to assure them a happy Christmas. She participates in two book clubs as reading is great interest. Linda is enjoying being on the board of the Pope Memorial Library along with the other wonderful, dedicated members.
