			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Queens Library Named 2009 Library of the Year by Library Journal</strong><strong><em>You can judge a book: Queens Library is Named the Best in the Nation<br />
</em></strong></span><br />
The Queens Library, the biggest in the nation in terms of circulation, has just been named the best as well. This well-deserved distinction comes from Library Journal, whose judges were so impressed that they named the Queens system Library of the Year. How great is that?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With 62 locations open six days a week, the Queens Library serves a community some 2.2 million strong. Its seven Adult Learning Centers and two Family Literacy Centers help build reading skills in people of all ages. The library&#8217;s New Americans Program encourages library use by new immigrants &#8211; particularly appropriate in the nation&#8217;s most ethnically diverse county.</p>
<p>The Library of the Year designation is a high and fitting honor.  <a href="http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/">Daily News</a><br />
