Jennifer Finch , Head Librarian
Jennifer says:
I have lived in 6 different states and Houston is the longest I've ever lived anywhere. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Louisiana, Monroe. I taught for one year before deciding my future lay in libraries. I worked as a Children's Specialist with the Madison County Library System in Mississippi while completing my Master's Degree in Library and Information Science online through the University of Southern Mississippi. After completing my degree I accepted the position as Young Adult Librarian at the Katherine Tyra at Bear Creek Library with HCPL, where I worked for seven and a half years. I have spent the last two years as the Assistant Branch Manager of Youth Services at the Fairbanks Branch. I am also involved in the local theater community with the Murder Mystery Co. I have also been in productions with Stageworks Theater, Playhouse 1960, and most recently with Tapestry Players where I portrayed Doris Walker in a radio show version of Miracle on 34th Street.

Elizabeth Stefanski Boggs , Young Adult Services Librarian.
Elizabeth will work primarily with tweens and teens, ages 12-18, to create engaging programs and develop a vibrant collection of books for this age group.
Elizabeth received her degree Master of Science in Library Science from the University of North Texas. Previously, Elizabeth graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2015, where she majored in elementary education and history. She has always loved libraries and reading, but she realized she wanted to serve the community by pursuing a career in librarianship when she served as a college summer intern at the Katy Branch Library. Elizabeth loves classic movies, all things British, and, of course, reading!
