Hillsboro Public Library employees have agreed to a new contract with the city following a unionization effort and lengthy negotiations that began in 2021.

The new contract was approved by the Hillsboro City Council on July 5, and union members voted to approve it a little later in the month.

Effective until the end of June 2024, it comes with many, but not all, of the provisions that library workers sought.
