  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize the Jordan 
Valley District Library upon the occasion of its 100th Anniversary. 
Through its trusted service, reliable staff, and community investment, 
the Jordan Valley District Library has become an indispensable part of 
Northern Michigan.
  Opened in July 1919 as the East Jordan Public Library, a grant from 
the Carnegie Corporation and an incredibly determined board of 
directors and staff built the library into the local institution it is 
today. Over the course of 100 years, the Jordan Valley District Library 
forged its path to success while maintaining its commitment to the 
community it was built upon. While its building and name may be 
different today, the Jordan Valley District Library still promotes the 
same ideals of giving the curious a place to explore and discover. The 
library's 100th Anniversary will be celebrated today, July 11th, in its 
original building first constructed in 1919. Day after day, the Jordan 
Valley District Library continues to set a positive example of what can 
be achieved when the people of a community work together for the common 
good.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to congratulate the Jordan Valley 
District Library and its staff for 100 years of success, service, and 
community investment. Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the 
First District is home to such dedicated citizens. On behalf of my 
constituents, I wish the Jordan Valley District Library all the best in 
its future endeavors.
