Grace Juster
Grace Juster grew up in the Midwest, moved to the East Coast, and traveled through England and Australia before settling in the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, she found a partner named Morgan, a cat named Daryll, and a home in McMinnville.
She previously worked in advertising in New York City and now serves as a librarian at the McMinnville Public Library. She discovered it’s much more exciting to tell people everything they can get for free than to convince them to buy something new. The best part of her job, though, is working with teens and helping them connect with their interests and each other.
When she isn’t at the library, Grace can usually be found at Mac Clay Pottery or the McMinnville Community Garden. Otherwise, she is likely enjoying a drink at the Bitter Monk, a patty melt at the Blue Moon, or a walk through Miller Woods.
She is deeply grateful for this honor and for the opportunity to support such a meaningful cause. It is a privilege for her to be part of an evening dedicated to strengthening the community that has given her such a strong sense of purpose.
