CONWAY — After 21 years at the helm of the North Conway Public Library/Pope Memorial Library, Andrea Masters is moving on. She said last week she is becoming director of development at the Mount Washington Observatory. She replaces Stephanie Fitzgerald, who has been at the Obs since 2016, and is leaving to start a family.
Masters said Tuesday she is sad to leave the library but excited about her new position.
