WHEREAS, Bethni King has been named the new children's | ||
librarian at Georgetown Public Library; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. King holds a master's degree in library and | ||
information science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, | ||
and she joined the Georgetown library in 2007 as the first librarian | ||
exclusively dedicated to young adult books and readers; and | ||
WHEREAS, In that position, Ms. King showed initiative, | ||
enthusiasm, and an innovative spirit, establishing a designated | ||
space in the library for teens, introducing video gaming into the | ||
library, and creating a teen art show; she also sought the input of | ||
young adult readers, helping them realize they had a stake in the | ||
planning of the library's programs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. King's expansive, forward-looking vision of the | ||
library's mission has played an important role in the expansion of | ||
the collection to include graphic novels and Japanese manga comics, | ||
which appeal to adults and children as well as young adults; | ||
moreover, she is an active member of the Maverick Graphic Novels | ||
Committee of the Texas Library Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. King's expertise, professionalism, and | ||
commitment to the mission of the public library have already | ||
benefited the young readers of Georgetown, and she may indeed | ||
reflect with great pride on her accomplishments thus far as she | ||
welcomes the opportunities of her exciting new role; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Bethni King on her recent | ||
appointment as the children's librarian of the Georgetown Public | ||
Library and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
