Bartlett Public Library
PO Box 366, Bartlett NH 03812

Current Active Committees

The Trustees Committee consists of Leo Sullivan, Chairperson; Marcia Burchstead; Jane Duggan, Treasurer;  Julia King and Suzette Villaume.  

For the past three years the primary focus of the Trustees has been developing plans to purchase land and build a public library.  Space has been critical for a number of years, programming and parking is limited.  The library has served the community well as part of the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, but the town has been growing and needs can no longer be met at the current location.
The Friends of the Bartlett Library Committee consists of Mary "Jackie" Hamblet, Chairperson; Colleen Allbee; Bette DuBois; Linda Hastings, Secretary; Pat Heiges, Judy Ludgate; Nancy Nelson, Treasurer; and Beverly Sarapin.

The Mission of the Friends is to provide a non-profit organization that sponsors programs to increase the use of the library and expand the cultural options in Bartlett.  The Friends also raise money to support special library activities and collections. All money comes from fundraisers and member dues.  To join the Friends fill out the forms provided at the library or contact us by email

In 2008 the Town of Bartlett continued their support of a new Bartlett Public Library by passing a warrant article to put an additional $35,000 into a Capital Reserve Fund for the acquisition of land and construction of a new Bartlett Public Library. This reserve fund now totals $105,000.
