Director Martin Scorsese has won yet another laurel.
Along with three others, he has been named a Library Lion by the New York Public Library.
A native New Yorker who grew up in Little Italy and won his first Oscar last year for “The Departed,” Mr. Scorsese was honored yesterday along with a historian, John Hope Franklin, a writer, Jhumpa Lahiri, and a playwright, Tom Stoppard.
The Library Lions award was first given out in 1997.
