Taylor Bayless

Librarian

Taylor Bayless is a librarian and Chicago native. After finishing a BFA in Cinema Studies at New York University, Taylor decided to leave the entertainment world behind to become a librarian. In 2008 she graduated from the School of Information at University of Michigan with an MSI in Library and Information Services. Taylor believes in supporting all media in the library setting; making connections between books, movies, music and more. Taylor is a former collegiate swimmer and a film geek of the highest order and will always keep those movie recommendations coming (especially in the realms of animation and German cinema).
