PROCLAMATION
Roz Pelcyger
Whereas books are our most durable form of knowledge and entertainment and communication of ideas, and
Whereas, a public library, which provides a community with an array of books and other sources of information in an organized fashion, is a pre-eminent provider of both learning and intellectual recreation, and
Whereas the proper, imaginative management of such a fundamental resource can give an entire community a special place for ‘brain aerobics’, and
Whereas, because our library and our librarians provide those books and those services in an endless stream of creative ways, and because our Library Director has been given national recognition for doing so,
Now, Therefore this Mayor and Council is pleased to convey its appreciation and thanks to Roz Pelcyger for her 2006 National Librarian award.
