Multnomah County Library

I started working in a public library when I was 17 and have worked in public libraries since then. Love it -- the variety of people and questions.

I'm a native Washingtonian and Oregonian... think about it.

I have both a dog and a cat. (The cat likes to walk with the dog and me.)

I like "cozy mysteries", history, religion, and travel books --

Expertise:

History (my library has some unique Oregon History material)
Genealogy (my library has some unique Oregon genealogy material)
Religion

Favorite books:

David Duncan - River Why
Matthew Fox - Original Blessing
Fred Lockley - History of the Columbia River Valley from The Dalles to the Sea
The Elizabeth Pepperhawk, Avivah Rosen mysteries by Sharon Wildwind.
