R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The commemoration of Library Day in the State of
Texas provides a welcome opportunity to recognize public libraries
for their many contributions to their communities; and
WHEREAS, The oldest continuously operating library in the
state, the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart was named for a
Central Texas physician and opened in July 1900; today, there are
some 870 public libraries throughout the state; and
WHEREAS, Libraries are vital institutions that provide a wide
variety of services and programs to citizens of all ages; in
addition, librarians often work with school boards and local
officials to curate collections that reflect the interests and
needs of their communities; and
WHEREAS, By offering a diverse range of books and other
media, libraries give patrons the opportunity to explore different
perspectives, to become more empathetic toward other lived
experiences, and to celebrate imagination and creativity; and
WHEREAS, Public libraries have been a source of
enlightenment, entertainment, and inspiration for generations of
Texans, and it is a privilege to join in recognizing these
outstanding cultural institutions for the central role they play in
their communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Library Day and extend to librarians
across the state sincere best wishes for continued success with
their important work.
