Libraries are the cornerstone of lifelong learning. They are where community members of all kinds come to inquire, design, reflect, evaluate, and collaborate. As we celebrate National Library Week, we shine a light on the dedicated professionals who make these institutions thrive. Mount Sinai Health System library staff members work every day to support our academic, research, and hospital communities. They help find the answers to questions, maintain the cleanliness of the physical spaces, protect the collections, provide research support and instructional sessions, and assist with access to remote services.  

As a young librarian, it has been an honor to work and grow alongside individuals that encourage collaboration on all levels, honor academic integrity, and maintain a proactive outlook on advancements in scholarship. I am very proud to be a part of the Mount Sinai Health System Library Team! This week, please join us in celebrating our amazing staff members and all they do!
