About Fairbanks Branch Library
Hello, I’m Melinda Brinkley the Branch Manager of the Fairbanks Branch Library. I have always loved libraries and grew up spending my summers in my county library reading and learning about the world around me. I love that libraries are a place with something to offer everyone.
Early literacy is my passion and creating Story Walks is one way that love manifests in our community. I believe customer service is essential and kindness, compassion, and communication are key to providing excellent service. My patron is my purpose.  In my spare time, I love being with my family. I also enjoy reading some of my favorite authors Lee Child, Beverly Cleary, Elizabeth Berg, Alan Bradley and Max Lucado, and Joyce Myers. I love listening to audiobooks especially those narrated by Jayne Entwistle. I’m all in with Star Wars (original cannon), Marvel movies, and being curious not judgmental with Ted Lasso.
I hope that you will come by our branch soon and discover all the free programs, services, and resources that are available to you. If you have any questions or comments, please email me, or call 832-927-7890.
