City of Hillsboro
Karen began working at Hillsboro Public Library in 2002, starting out as an on-call librarian and now serving as the Assistant Director. Her job is focused on the daily operations of both libraries to “keep the lights on and the doors open,” working collaboratively with City departments such as Information Services and Facilities, as well as being the liaison to the Library Foundation. In her spare time she loves to travel and cook, and is trying to master the art of bread baking. Her favorite book is Bel Canto by Ann Patchett.

Nestled in the Tualatin Valley between Portland and the Pacific Ocean, Hillsboro was founded in 1842 and incorporated in 1876. Its settler economy was first based on fruitful agricultural pursuits, supported by riverboat transportation on the Tualatin River, which helped it grow to about 5,000 people by 1950. Now Oregon’s fifth largest city with more than 95,000 residents, Hillsboro enjoys award-winning urban planning, an affordable cost of living, a strong economic base and one of the state’s most diverse populations.
