The Hostos Community College Library, winner of the community college category, was recognized for putting the "community" in community college.

"The Hostos Library staff demonstrate exemplary partnership and leadership with faculty in developing new curricular design and revitalization through the development of new courses designed to teach information literacy, critical thinking, computer literacy, and also by creating bilingual online learning environments," said Frances Maloy, chair of the 2007 Excellence in Academic Libraries Selection Committee and Division Leader of Access Services at Emory University.

"The library staff has absorbed the meaning of the life of the person for whom the institution is named through their bilingual, multilevel, and curriculum integrated information literacy program," Maloy added. "Their efforts to produce the bilingual student literary and art magazine, Escriba!/Write! and to create an inviting and bilingual student-focused environment in the library are also noteworthy."

In addition, Hostos Library is serving the broader research community by preserving unique collections about Eugenio Maria de Hostos and by creating and preserving records about the founding of Hostos Community College.

"I cannot think of a better gift for our students and our community than to receive this national recognition of excellence for their library," said Lucinda Zoe, professor and chief librarian of the Hostos Community College/CUNY. "It is a powerful message to send to our community here in the South Bronx - you have the best and you deserve it. Winning this award is truly a testament to the commitment of the library faculty and staff, as well as our college administration, to the library and our students. It is a pleasure to serve such an appreciative and deserving student body, and I am most honored and blessed to work with an extremely gifted and generous faculty and staff. They consistently go above and beyond for our students and it shows. And now, everyone knows!"
