Meet the Librarian

About Me: Hi, I’m Debbie Byrum, the Library Media Specialist for Stanwood High School! My love for libraries goes back to my own high school years when I worked in my high school library during my senior year. I used to love to spend time at the ASU library while in college. I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelors degree in Communication, I received my Masters in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix in 2009, and I obtained my K-12 Library Media Endorsement from Seattle Pacific University in 2011. I’ve been working as the librarian here at Stanwood High school since 2013. And, of course, I love to read!

Some of my favorite recent books include:

  • Before we were yours, by Lisa Wingate

  • Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn

  • The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah

  • The Breakdown, by B.A. Paris

  • Behind Closed Doors, by B.A. Paris


Some authors I enjoy reading:

  • Harlen Coben

  • Lisa Scottoline
