Stephanie Taylor
Teacher Librarian, HBUHSD

Ms. Taylor was born and raised in Orange County. She always knew she wanted to be a teacher and when she got her first job at 16 in the Newport Beach Public Library her career plans were set. She would be a teacher librarian, combining her love of children and books.

Although her job has evolved into teaching the use of research tools, she still loves to talk to students about books. Just ask her!
