                 HONORING THE WAGNALLS MEMORIAL LIBRARY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 28, 2015

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The Wagnalls 
Memorial Library in Lithopolis, Ohio. The Wagnalls Memorial will be 
celebrating 90 years of serving the community this May.
  The Wagnalls Memorial was dedicated by Mabel Wagnalls Jones in honor 
of her parents, Adam and Anna Willis Wagnalls, on May 30, 1925. The 
Wagnalls Memorial houses both a library and a community theatre where 
families, children and adults are able to learn, perform and volunteer.
  In the time since being dedicated, nearly $5 million in capital 
improvements have been made to The Wagnalls Memorial, allowing the 
community to enjoy the use of the library and other facilities for 
community events. Additionally, The Wagnalls Memorial has hosted events 
ranging from reading programs, to theatre and art classes for children 
and adults.
  The Wagnalls Memorial continues to be an important cornerstone of the 
community today. Recently, the Wagnalls Board of Directors approved The 
Legacy Campaign in an effort to assure The Wagnalls Memorial is able to 
continue operating well into the future.
  The Wagnalls Memorial has had a long history of service and bringing 
the community together. I offer my sincere congratulations to The 
Wagnalls Memorial on their 90th anniversary. On behalf of the people of 
Ohio's 15th Congressional District, I thank The Wagnalls Memorial for 
all you do for our community and wish you the best in the future.
