Dr. Christine Finn, superintendent of the Carle Place School District, was recently presented with the Nassau BOCES School Library System Administrator of the Year Award. This award from the Nassau BOCES School Library System, is granted to those who are considered models, supporters, advocates and inspirations to the field of librarianship.

Dr. Finn was nominated by Cherry Lane School librarian Elizabeth Fokas, along with fellow school librarians Marni Nelson (Rushmore Avenue School) and Lori Feit (Carle Place Middle/High School). Together, the three Carle Place librarians felt that Dr. Finn has supported the Plan of Service of Nassau School Library System by “encouraging and supporting district librarians to participate in conferences, workshops and liaison meetings.”

They also praised Dr. Finn for maintaining full-time librarians in all three schools in the district and including librarians as part of the district’s technology department. 

“We now have an advocate for our programs and meet as a department to work together,” Ms. Fokas said.

Congratulations, Dr. Finn!
