  Ms. JENKINS. Mr. Speaker, from April 10th to April 16th our nation is 
celebrating National Library Week. This one week each year we take time 
to honor and thank our nation's libraries and their dedicated staff for 
the vital role they play in our communities.
  Today, I rise to support the work at the Library at Kansas State 
University. As part of the land-grant mission, the Library at Kansas 
State University serves not only the campus and students at K-State, 
but the good folks of Fort Riley, Fort Leavenworth and many other 
communities in the 2nd District and across Kansas. Whether it is 
internet access, academic research, or just finding a good book, the 
Library at Kansas State serves our friends and neighbors in an 
important way. I am proud to represent them in Congress and humbled to 
honor them today.
