                        Thursday, April 22, 2004

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Ellwood City Area Public Library in Ellwood City, 
Pennsylvania for their week long celebration commemorating their 90th 
anniversary starting April 26, 2004. It is an honor to represent such a 
steadfast facility within the Fourth Congressional District of 
Pennsylvania.
  For the past nine decades the Ellwood City Area Public Library has 
provided the residents of Ellwood City with a useful, high-quality 
institute. The success of the library is often attributed to its 
ability to constantly adapt to the changing times--always providing the 
citizens of Ellwood City with the most up-to-date resources available. 
Now the Ellwood City Area Public Library offers over 45,000 items, 
ranging from large-print books and magazines to

audio and videotapes. Furthermore, the library offers computers for 
free public internet access and a variety of children's programming. 
The 90th anniversary celebration is not only a festival to celebrate 
all the past accomplishments of the library but also to focus on the 
success that are sure to come in the future.
  I ask that all of my colleagues in the House of Representatives join 
me in honoring this institution in my district. The Ellwood City Area 
Public library has provided an invaluable service to the community for 
90 years and, undoubtedly, the next 90 years will be just as 
successful.
