                       Tuesday, November 16, 2004

  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the importance of 
the East Los Angeles Civic Center Library. For too long the East Los 
Angeles community has been deprived of a quality library.

  The 28,000 square foot library facility will provide a state of the 
art computer lab, a children's learning center and a Chicano Resource 
Center to extend educational and cultural services to children, 
families, and the entire community.
  The East Los Angeles Civic Center Library was made possible through 
the leadership efforts of Supervisor Gloria Molina and collaboration 
between local merchants, community leaders, the Los Angeles County 
Library Foundation, and the County of Los Angeles Public Library.
  It is with great pleasure that I recognize the vision and commitment 
of communities who care about our future generations.
