Upper School Assistant Librarian Natalie Mattox joins the Poly community this year, well-versed in a wide range of titles, authors and publishers to share with the library visitors
Mattox worked at Windward School while getting her master’s degree in Library and Information Science from UCLA. She then served as the librarian at Brawerman Elementary School but wanted to return to a high school environment, so she came to Poly for the community, events and programs the school offers.
“I’ll be focusing on bringing in fun, new, exciting stuff for [everyone] to read for pleasure, to use for research purposes or any of the above,” said Mattox.
Along with reading, Mattox enjoys making zines and is excited to bring her love of crafting to the Upper School. She is also working on developing the library’s book collection and providing recommendations to both students and faculty members.
“She has a joyful laugh and exudes a really joyful energy,” said Upper School Librarian Nora Murphy, along with complimenting Mattox’s taste in books.
Mattox appreciates Poly’s focus on supporting and encouraging students and is especially looking forward to connecting with students during the Outdoor Education trip this fall.
