Bill > HR38

This resolution recognizes the week of April 6 through 12, 2025, as "National Library Week" in Pennsylvania, commemorating a tradition that began in 1958 when the American Library Association and American Book Publishers responded to research showing declining book purchases in favor of other media. The resolution highlights the historical context of the National Book Committee's formation in 1954 and emphasizes the critical role libraries play in communities, noting that they serve millions of visitors and provide essential services beyond book lending, such as technology access and educational programs for diverse groups including children, parents, entrepreneurs, senior citizens, and students. By acknowledging the dedication of librarians and library workers who work to promote learning, the resolution aims to celebrate the transformative power of libraries and reading, recognizing their ongoing efforts to strengthen community education and access to information.
