Kate is a lifelong book lover and future librarian who is passionate about children’s literacy, storytelling, and building inclusive spaces for all. Before diving into the library world, she spent over a decade in marketing at places like Powell’s Books, the Beaverton Farmers Market, and various wineries. When she’s not studying for school, you can find her hiking or backpacking with her family, beading, or being in community at tribal events.

Some cool bookish things about Kate:

Maren is originally from Idaho. After finishing school in Utah, she moved to the PNW. She has lived in Camas for 8 years now with her family and loves to be able to call this city and area home. Maren has always loved visiting libraries, taking her kids to story time and weekly trips to carry out armfuls of books. She loves reading cookbooks and food memoirs, lots of fiction including magical realism or historical fantasy.  Her happy place is in the kitchen baking, listening and dancing to music. She loves to hike or run on trails, especially in Lacamas.

The City of Camas’ Finance Department is once again receiving awards. Camas was recently awarded the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the City’s 2025-2026 Biennial Budget.
