My name is Beth Kaufka. I am excited to be the new assistant manager at the Friends' Library Store in Central Library. I moved to Portland from Detroit, Michigan, a year and a half ago to continue my education at Portland State University, where I am currently studying English. When I'm not studying, stressing out over finals, or in the computer lab writing, I spend my time cooking, working on craft projects, riding my bike around the city, and being with my friends who make me laugh a lot. I am looking forward to meeting the staff and volunteers who dedicate themselves to giving the community such a fine library.
Parking is free.
To reserve a seat, watch for your invitation in the mail and return it to the Friends' office. We're delighted to have as guest speaker Susan Hauser, Portland writer and raconteur. I grew up checking out children's books at the Hollywood branch, and now check out self-help books at the Hillsdale branch. I'll attempt to analyze the Portland traits and quirks that make us so interesting to the rest of America. This page is being maintained by The Friends of the Library.
