Now, Melanie enjoys doing the same thing with her own school-aged children at the Barrington Public Library.
When she is not reading on her Kindle or listening to an audiobook, Melanie enjoys cooking, gardening, running, and travel.

Ezra Hodgson - Trustee
Term Ends - 2027

Ezra was born in East Lansing, Michigan, but has been a NH resident for the past 20 years. He moved to Barrington in 2017 with his wife, Kara, and Australian Cattle Dog mix, Kona. He has helped add to that group with daughters Reagan and Zoe. He holds an undergraduate degree in Public Relations, with minors in Marketing and Journalism from SUNY Plattsburgh, where he was a captain for the basketball team. Ezra is a local realtor, working with the Zoeller Group at Keller Williams Coastal Realty. He has loved the library since early in life. Quoting his father, Ezra was “hard to please” until he was able to read, and the library has been a large part of his life since. More recently Ezra has been volunteering at the Barrington library on an almost weekly basis. When he isn’t reading or spending time with family, he enjoys cycling, playing basketball, and watching Michigan State athletics.
