Tal Matalon is a reader, educator, parent, and community advocate. In her home town of Haifa, Israel, Tal read her way through her neighborhood library, elementary, middle, and high school libraries, and the library of Isha L’Isha Feminist Center, and earned her BA in English Language and Literature and Hebrew Linguistics. After moving to Durham in 2012, Tal found her passion for education and has worked in Durham Public Schools since 2013, first as an instructional assistant and then as a middle and high school English teacher.

Tal joined the Library Board of Trustees in 2023, while returning to work from parental leave with her second child. She is excited to serve the library, probably the most amazing institution in existence, and explore all the ways to further the love of reading and literacy across all Durham communities.
