  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jan Frank-de Ois of Shenandoah, Iowa on her retirement as 
the Director of the Shenandoah Public Library. Jan has been serving the 
citizens of Shenandoah and Page County for 27 years.
  Jan has connected people with literature, information and the world. 
Over the 27 years at the library she has worked to accomplish many new 
operating techniques, such as, moving from paper to online services. 
She said, ``We work hard on customer service.'' Jan knew at an early 
age of her interest in libraries. She volunteered at the Essex, Iowa 
Public Library while attending high school and continued volunteering 
at the Dunn Library at Simpson College.
  Mr. Speaker, Jan has made a difference in her community by helping 
and serving others. It is with great pride that I recognize her today. 
I know that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in honoring her service and accomplishments. I thank her for 
her commitment to the Shenandoah Public Library and wish her nothing 
but continued success in her retirement.
