Be- ginning her interim position at Minot-Sleeper Library in mid-November, Davis said she immediately fell in love with the facility and the community alike. “I met the staff and saw that these women are amaz- ing,” she said. “The library has a really great vibe, too. It’s small, but it’s busy, and I knew
