                 CONGRATULATING McALLEN PUBLIC LIBRARY

  (Ms. De La CRUZ asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. De La CRUZ. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
congratulate the McAllen Public Library, a cornerstone of our 
community, on receiving the prestigious 2023 Achievement of Library 
Excellence Award for the 10th consecutive year.
  The library's commitment to enhancing literacy and providing 
educational opportunities is unparalleled. From hosting the annual 
South Texas Book Festival to offering essential coding classes and 
vibrant summer reading programs, our library ensures that the flame of 
knowledge burns bright across the RGV.
  This award recognizes past achievements and is a testament to the 
enduring impact our library has on enriching lives and fostering 
community growth.
