The Clark Library is pleased to introduce Pax Beebe, MLIS, as the newest member of the Collection Services team.

Prior to joining UP, they worked for several years at the Hillsboro Public Library as a skilled technical trainer and provided inclusive and compassionate assistance to library users. Outside of work, you can find Pax hiking at the coast, reading horror books, or hanging out in Beaverton with their partner and two cats. Please join us in welcoming Pax!
