Library Journal, the oldest and most respected publication covering the library field, has named our long-time client-partner Queens Borough Public Library the library of the year!  The news will be officially announced in the cover story of the June 15th issue of the magazine (although some details are available now at the library’s website) and at a reception in Chicago in July, during the annual conference of the American Library Association.

LJ’s editor-at-large cited the “abililty of the managers and staff to provide an incredibly diverse set of services and continue the constant modernization of the 62 libraries” in the Queens library system.  Library CEO Thomas Galante listed some of those services: “For homework help, for assistance in finding a job, to prepare to take a professional licensing exam or the citizenhip test, to learn English or to find a healthcare provider that will give a free mammogram and who also speaks Russian – that’s why the community relies on Queens Library.”

Congrats are in order all around — keep up the great work, Queens!
