Nicole Twiest
Hello! My name is Nicole Twiest and I am blessed to be working at The Next Chapter BookMart! I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have four kids ages 15 to 10. I am a stay at home mom but I love getting lost in a good book and wanted to share my love of reading with all of our customers! Whether it’s helping them find a book from their to be read pile or suggesting something new, I am excited and happy to help!
Gayle TeSlaa
My name is Gayle. I started working at Next Chapter books recently. I love to read, so it is a perfect fit. I also enjoy meeting the people that come in. The fact that the Buhl’s (owners) use the store as a mission to pour into the lives of adults with disabilities makes it an honor for me to volunteer my time.
