Congratulations to Lauren Comito, GSLIS class of 2007, who was selected as Library Journal’s Librarian of the Year.

The full story can be read here https://www.libraryjournal.com/?detailStory=Christian-Zabriskie-Lauren-Comito-Librarian-of-the-Year-2020"Comito was an art major. After graduating, however, she wanted a bit more security than working as an artist provided, and “librarians had health insurance and a union.

” Comito enrolled in the Master of Library Science program at New York City’s Queens College; while there, she took a job as a librarian trainee at QPL and moved through the ranks for the next 11 years—as a YA librarian, doing outreach for the library’s Job & Business Academy, and serving as an assistant branch manager. In 2017, Comito moved to Brooklyn Public Library (BPL), where she currently serves as Neighborhood Library Supervisor at the Leonard Library."
