1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | ||||||
3 | Representatives wish to commend young Logan
Brinson of Alpha, | ||||||
4 | whose love of reading and sharing books with others led him to | ||||||
5 | open three book-sharing locations in his home town and one in | ||||||
6 | the neighboring village of Rio, all of which are known as | ||||||
7 | "Logan's Little Library"; and
| ||||||
8 | WHEREAS, After moving to Alpha with his family in 2017, | ||||||
9 | Logan Brinson, a five-year-old student, took action when he | ||||||
10 | found that his
community did not have a public library; and
| ||||||
11 | WHEREAS, Logan Brinson started his own "little library" in | ||||||
12 | the front yard of his family's home as a
way to share his love | ||||||
13 | of reading with his community, allowing Alpha residents to pick | ||||||
14 | up a book they might be interested in reading or share a book | ||||||
15 | that others might enjoy; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, The success of the first Logan's Little Library | ||||||
17 | led to the need for a second location in Alpha,
recognizing | ||||||
18 | that some children and families might not be able to easily | ||||||
19 | cross US Highway 150 to access his
first location; Alpha's | ||||||
20 | third location is now being established in the local pharmacy; | ||||||
21 | a fourth location in the neighboring Village of Rio is also | ||||||
22 | being established; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Due to Logan Brinson's hard work and innovative | ||||||
2 | idea, more than 2,000 books from 22 states and 13 countries | ||||||
3 | have been donated; and
| ||||||
4 | WHEREAS, Logan Brinson's commitment to his community has | ||||||
5 | not gone without notice, as local, statewide,
and national news | ||||||
6 | media, and office holders have recognized his efforts aimed at | ||||||
7 | increasing literacy and
a sense of community, which is | ||||||
8 | all-too-often diminishing in our modern times; therefore, be it
| ||||||
9 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
10 | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
11 | we join the many friends, fans, and supporters of Logan | ||||||
12 | Brinson's "Little Library" in honoring founder Logan Brinson; | ||||||
13 | and be it further
| ||||||
14 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
15 | presented to Logan Brinson as an expression of our
esteem and | ||||||
16 | respect.
