  TRIBUTE TO THE FRIENDS OF THE ROSEVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY ON THEIR 20TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Friends of the 
Roseville Public Library. This Saturday, the Friends are celebrating 
their 20th anniversary.
  In 1975, Rosalie Perry and Carol Windorf, along with a handful of 
supporters, founded the group. Today, over 1,300 members provide 
services and support to the people of Roseville and surrounding 
communities through their public library.
  In the past 20 years, the group has taken tremendous pride in their 
library. Without the Friends, many of the services provided would 
simply be nonexistent. Computerized data bases, videos, Books on Tape, 
projectors, and compact discs are all available because of the work of 
the Friends of the Roseville Library. Currently, the group is in the 
process of raising funds to establish a computer center for children. 
In 1995, the Roseville library continues to house a large selection of 
books, magazines, and other reading materials, and because of the 
Friends' efforts, it is also preparing for the 21st century.
  The people of Roseville are fortunate to have the Friends working to 
improve their library and I am looking forward to celebrating their 
20th anniversary when I return to Michigan this weekend. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in wishing the Friends of the Roseville Public 
Library many more years of success.
