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."

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