Library Director Says Goodbye

After nearly 17 years of service, Library Director Hillary Ostlund is leaving the City of Hillsboro. Fortunately, she isn’t going far.

Hillary accepted a position with WCCLS as their new Community Relations Manager, where she will serve all of Washington County.

A national search is now underway to fill the City of Hillsboro Library Director position.

“I am incredibly thankful to the City of Hillsboro and libraries that have been my work home and family for 17 years; the Library Friends, Foundation, and Board who provide amazing support and advocacy; and you, the beautiful community I have been so proud to serve through library services.

Community support and input drives our services — we could not do what we do without you!”

– Hillary Ostlund
