Proclamation - National Library Week

Pictured from left to right: |
Whereas, Libraries play a vital role in providing millions of people with the resources they need to live, learn and work; and,
Whereas, Our nation's public, academic, school and specialized libraries provide something for everyone. Libraries bring you a world of knowledge both in person and online, as well as personal service and assistance in finding what you need, when you need it; and,
Whereas, Awareness and support must be increased for libraries, librarians and library workers by raising their visibility in a positive context and by communicating clearly and strongly as to why libraries are both unique and valuable; and,
Whereas, Libraries, librarians, library workers and supporters across America are celebrating National Library Week; now,
Therefore, I, Andy Wambsganss, Mayor of the City of Southlake, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim April 13-19, 2008, as National Library Week 2008 and encourage all residents to take advantage of the wonderful library resources available and thank their librarians and library workers for making information accessible to all.
