                          SCHOOL LIBRARY MONTH

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, reading is powerful. As we 
celebrate School Library Month, we honor the sanctuaries of knowledge 
that shape young minds and inspire lifelong learning.
  School libraries are more than just rooms filled with books. They are 
gateways to imagination, innovation, and discovery that remain 
steadfast in their mission to cultivate critical thinking and foster a 
love for reading.
  Let us recognize the tireless efforts of those who curate diverse 
collections, provide invaluable resources, and serve as mentors to our 
students.
  As we commemorate School Library Month, let us reaffirm our 
commitment to supporting these vital institutions. Together, let us 
ensure that every student has access to the transformative power of 
knowledge within the walls of a school library.
