Hello All!
I am Mrs. Taylor! I am the Media Specialist at North Brook and this is my 13th year here!  My husband and I share three children:  Khloe, 13 in 7th grade; John Austin, 9 in 4th grade; and Grant, 6 in 1st grade. 
I graduated with my Bachelor's in Elementary Education from Appalachian State University (ASU!) in 2008.  I also have my Master's in Library Science, from which I graduated in May 2013 from ASU!
