Item 3A2
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.
