                          TRIBUTE TO ANNA WANG

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2000

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to Anna Wang, a 
Supervising Librarian at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters. Mrs. 
Wang is retiring after 32 years of dedicated service to the library and 
the community. I join her family, friends, and grateful colleagues in 
honoring her for her talents and skills that she has shared with our 
community.
  Mrs. Wang has worked diligently to select, process and organize the 
largest Chinese language collection in a public library in New Jersey. 
This collection, housed in the Shrewsbury, Marlboro, Holmdel, and 
Manalapan libraries, has been a vital resource for the people of New 
Jersey.
  Mrs. Wang has also coordinated Chinese ethnic festivals with local 
schools and the Friends of the Monmouth County Library; she has 
arranged an exchange program with the National Central Library in 
Taipei, Taiwan; and she has obtained numerous dollars in federal grants 
for these programs. Her talents and hard-work will be sorely missed by 
the entire community.
  Mrs. Wang is one of those truly amazing individuals who devotes all 
of her time to public service. In addition to her tremendous 
accomplishments at work, Mrs. Wang manages to serve as president of the 
New Jersey Chinese Book Club. She is also a columnist for the New 
Jersey Sino Monthly Magazine and the Global Chinese Times. And she is 
the author of three books.
  I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in thanking Mrs. Wang for 
her and contributions to New Jersey, her dedication, and her hard work, 
and I wish her a happy productive retirement.
