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
offer 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 Toledo Lucas County Public Library Waterville Branch 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 Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Toledo Lucas County
Public Library Waterville Branch on its One Hundredth Anniversary and
extend best wishes for continued success; and be it further
