Before the close of the 2017-18 school year, the Western Suffolk BOCES School Library System held its third annual Leadership & Information Symposium at which it honored library media specialists who contribute so much to their school districts throughout the year and to celebrate the successes of the System’s membership.
Two people were selected to receive Librarian of the Year awards: Joan Hanley of the Commack School District and Alice A. Robinson of West Babylon School District. The Administrator of the Year Award was presented to Rudy Massimo, Principal of R.J.O. Intermediate School in the Kings Park School District. The day also acknowledged all of the retirees from six different districts.
