Karen  Santamaria

I have been at KPL—in various positions—since 2002.  I currently work in Teen Services and Information and Reader Services.  On any given day, you may find me leading a meeting of the Galley Review Group, answering patron questions at the Reference Desk on the second floor, or working in the ONEplace, helping connect local nonprofit organizations with valuable resources.  

I am a Kalamazoo native enjoying the opportunity to work in the heart of downtown
