Valley Stream District 13’s Lisa Geary has been named a 2024 Nassau BOCES School Library System’s School Librarian of the Year. This marks the district’s fourth SLOY recognition, and the first for Geary.
Lisa Geary was selected by the Nassau BOCES School Library System Advisory Council for her outstanding contributions to education, including her leadership in curriculum realignment—integrating social-emotional learning (SEL), Next Generation Science Standards, STEM, and digital literacy—while championing diverse literature and innovative library programming. A dynamic collaborator, she has presented at leading conferences, including LITES, STANYS, NYLA, and SPARK, and will soon present at LILRC.
The SLOY award recognizes librarians who exemplify the American Library Association’s core values, fostering equity, education, and innovation. Lisa’s achievement highlights Valley Stream UFSD 13’s commitment to excellence in library sciences and student centered learning.
