   HONORING THE MOLINE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR ITS WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH 
                              DISABILITIES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 1, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Moline Public 
Library for its work with people with disabilities. The library 
received an award from the American Library Association for their 
efforts--becoming the only library in North America to win in this 
category.
  The Moline Public Library has made a special effort in recent years 
to make their library more accessible for everyone in their community--
beginning with a reading and education book club for people with 
disabilities. Additionally, the Moline Public Library works with ARC of 
the Quad Cities and Quad City Arts to provide programming and 
activities for engagement. I commend the Moline Public Library for its 
work with people with disabilities, and I thank them for their 
continued service to the Moline community.
  It is because of community leaders such as the Moline Public Library 
that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional 
District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally honor the 
Moline Public Library for winning an award from the American Library 
Association for its work with people with disabilities.
