As a focal point for many community activities and as a valuable instrument for community improvement, the library has earned the respect and appreciation of countless patrons and has set an example of community service worthy of emulation; and |
| WHEREAS, As repositories for the best of our nation's intellectual endeavors, public libraries 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 Hudson Library and Historical Society 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 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate the Hudson Library and Historical Society on its One Hundredth Anniversary and extend best wishes for continued success; and be it further |
