Honoring
the Orrville Public Library on its Centennial.

WHEREAS,
The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General
Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Orrville Public
Library on the auspicious occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary;
and

WHEREAS,
Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting tribute to the
Orrville Public Library, for throughout its history, this fine
institution has attained a remarkable record of service to the area.
Begun in 1925 as a collection of six hundred books in a vacant room
at the high school, the library dedicated its present building in
1941, and with the vision of becoming an expansive community
resource, it completed an addition in 1977 and another addition and
renovation in 2000; and

WHEREAS,
Since its inception, the Orrville Public Library has fostered
education, culture, and individual growth and achievement by
providing a variety of innovative and beneficial programs and
services. As a focal point for many local activities and a valuable
instrument for community improvement, the library has earned the
respect and appreciation of countless patrons and has set an example
of excellence that is worthy of emulation; and

WHEREAS,
Public libraries play an important role in today’s society, serving
as receptacles of shared knowledge, information, and ideas. They
provide a means of enjoyment, self-advancement, and intellectual
development for all individuals, and as repositories for the best of
our nation’s intellectual endeavors, they are vital to the
preservation of our country’s heritage, principles, and ideals. We
are proud to note that it is through the efforts of institutions such
as the Orrville Public Library that our state has maintained its
reputation as a friendly, productive, and pleasant place in which to
live and work; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the
Orrville Public Library on its One Hundredth Anniversary and extend
best wishes for continued success; and be it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Orrville Public Library.
