                        Wednesday, May 17, 2023

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Anaheim Public 
Library from my district, who is being honored as a finalist for the 
2023 National Medal for Museum and Library Services.
  This honor recognizes museums and libraries' services to their 
communities. Through innovative programs and partnerships with 
nonprofits, the Anaheim Public Library helps close economic gaps, 
expand digital inclusion, and ensure that our students access to the 
education they deserve. The Anaheim Public Library is an important 
resource to our community and provides critical resources, including 
WiFi and laptops, food and diapers, and even mobile educational 
programs that travel to schools, parks, and senior centers. Last year, 
the library's mobile services reached more than 235,000 members of our 
community in Anaheim.
  The work that the Anaheim Public Library has done to support and 
transform the lives of people like me, makes me proud that they are 
honored as a finalist for the 2023 National Medal for Museum and 
Library Services.
