On the recordDecember 19, 2018
Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank everyone who has worked hard on this legislation. S. 3530, the Museum and Library Services Act of 2018, is an excellent opportunity to honor the place of libraries in our diverse communities. As a girl growing up in the mountains of North Carolina, libraries were vital to my own education, and that was the case for everyone in my community. Almost 19 years into the 21st century, libraries continue to provide lifelines to lifelong learners all across this great country. They are as vital as ever. We in the House are happy to do our part in ensuring these local institutions continue to play the important role they do in educating Americans of every age and communities of every size. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Indiana for his role in this.
