Last night, the House of Representatives passed H.RES.1222 , a resolution to
support the goals and ideals of National Library Week. Sponsored by U.S.
Rep. Vernon Ehlers* *(MI-3-R), the resolution outlines the many ways
libraries of all kinds serve our country.

The opening text of the resolution states, “Whereas the Nation’s school,
academic, public, and special  libraries make a difference in the lives of
millions of people in the United States, today, more than ever; Whereas
librarians are trained professionals, helping people of all ages and
backgrounds find and interpret the information they need to live, learn, and
work in a challenging economy; Whereas libraries are part of the American
Dream, places for opportunity, education, self-help, and lifelong
learning.”
