           HONORING THE SODUS LIBRARY RANKED #1 IN THE NATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                       Thursday, December 7, 2006

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Sodus Library 
and their #1 ranking among libraries nationwide. Every year a list of 
the Nation's top 100 libraries is published. Hennen's American Public 
Library Rating Index looked at over 9,000 libraries and ranked them on 
various traditional services. This year, the public library of Sodus, 
New York ranked number one in its population category.
  As we all know, libraries are an integral part to all communities. We 
have all experienced the benefits of libraries; whether as a small 
child in a reading club or as a young adult working on a research 
paper. It is an honor for

me and the people of Central New York to have the number one library in 
the Nation. I congratulate Sodus Librarian Carol Garland and her staff 
for all the hard work that has attributed to Sodus Library being 
considered the top in the Nation.
