                 TRIBUTE TO THE BEDFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Bedford Public Library in Bedford, Iowa for 
celebrating their 100 year anniversary.
  The Bedford Public Library was built in 1916 as a gift from Andrew 
Carnegie and is one of 101 Carnegie Libraries built in Iowa. It has 
come a long way since 1916, there are no longer just books housed 
there. It is home to five public access computers with high speed 
internet connections along with a number of other modern amenities. The 
library also contains a large genealogy collection.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent those who have made the 
Bedford Public Library such an integral part of the community and it is 
with great pride that I recognize them today. I ask that my colleagues 
in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
them for this outstanding milestone and in wishing them all nothing but 
continued success.
