books with local students, and she enjoyed passing down an | ||
appreciation for library services to younger generations; and | ||
WHEREAS, Connie Colston's dedication, professionalism, and | ||
commitment to excellence have greatly benefited the patrons of the | ||
Nicholas P. Sims Library while earning her the respect and | ||
admiration of her colleagues, and she may indeed reflect with pride | ||
on a career well spent as she embarks on the next exciting chapter | ||
of her life; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Connie Colston on her retirement | ||
from the Nicholas P. Sims Library and that she be extended sincere | ||
best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
