               CONGRATULATING SHALER NORTH HILLS LIBRARY

  (Mr. ALTMIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ALTMIRE. Mr. Speaker, recently I had the honor of attending a 
ceremony recognizing the Shaler North Hills Library for receiving the 
National Medal for Library and Museum Service. This is the highest 
Federal honor any museum or library can earn.
  The Shaler North Hills Library serves over 50,000 families, providing 
assistance for everything from job searching to computer training. The 
library also presents outstanding programs for all ages, including 
showcasing local gardeners, art exhibits, and a speaker series. Their 
interactive science program, ``Discovery Kids,'' won a Pennsylvania 
Library Association Best Practices Award, recognizing the program as 
the best of the best for early learning. The Shaler North Hills Library 
truly sets the standard for all ages in library services. I 
congratulate them on this well-deserved honor.
