Bronwyn Nelson, the new Library Director of Cohasset, has a diverse background across multiple professions and a strong passion for libraries, influenced by her mother, an elementary school librarian. Born in Groton, Connecticut, where her father was a naval architect, Bronwyn grew up with a strong appreciation for books and learning. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and held various jobs including bartender, office manager, and inventory controller at Toys R Us.

Bronwyn started working at the Cohasset Library 17 and a half years ago, initially part-time. Her commitment and various roles at the library led to her recent promotion to Director, succeeding Meaghan James. She pursued further education and obtained a Master of Public Administration in 2021.

Travel has also played a significant role in Bronwyn's life. During college, she participated in a Semester at Sea, visiting 12 countries. Despite the challenges of traveling with a family, she has continued to travel, including recent trips to the Italian Dolomites and Morocco. These experiences have broadened her perspective and inform her work as Library Director.

Bronwyn is also active in the Cohasset community. She attends live music events, supports local venues like the Music Circus, and enjoys the beach. Her dedication to the community is reflected in her efforts to improve the local library's services, making it a key resource for residents.
