Officers

Taylor
Meriwether

Taylor Meriwether wants to live in a world where librarians aren’t expected to be quiet and “shush” people. She is the accidental library director at the Hinton Public Library where she has happily been for over seven years. Taylor can be found at the library planning programs, messing with some sort of technology or playing with the library dragon, Toothless. She prides herself in being the mother of Superman (Clark), the wife of a mad scientist and the human mom to her small zoo of animals both furry and scaly.
