Every year, NYCSLA likes to celebrates the achievements of its librarians by spotlighting what they do. Many librarians are the only one in their positions in their respective libraries, so we do this not only to encourage them, but to cast a light on the valuable work a librarian contributes to a school community. All spotlight librarians also receive a letter sent to their administrator highlighting their achievements, so that school leaders can also continue to invest in their library programs.

Without further ado, here are the winners of our first round of Spotlight Librarians for the 2024-25 school year!

Don Curran / Bronx High School of Science

Stephanie Entin-Wald / “47” The American Sign Language and English Secondary School

Rashida Sheikh / PS 100 – The Coney Island School

Jessica Smith / PS/MS 95 – Sheila Mencher

Thank you, Spotlight Librarians, for shedding good light on the profession!
