It also acknowledges the dedication of library professionals in connecting people with information and their role in promoting intellectual freedom and equitable access to knowledge, which are crucial for a democratic society. The Governor is also requested to issue an annual proclamation encouraging the observation of this week with appropriate activities and programs.
