      2023-2024
                            Senator McColley
                       A RESOLUTION
            Honoring the Putnam County District Library on its
              Centennial.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly    1
of Ohio are pleased to recognize the Putnam County District Library as   2
it commemorates its One Hundredth Anniversary; and                       3
     WHEREAS, This is, indeed, an important occasion, and                4
congratulations are certainly in order. Established in 1924 thanks to    5
the efforts of Mazie Hauck Frey and other local women, the Putnam        6
County District Library grew from its humble origins in the anteroom     7
of the women’s restroom at the Putnam County Courthouse into a true      8
pillar of the community, and it has experienced tremendous success and   9
prosperity over the last century. Indeed, it has adapted to the ever-    10
growing and changing needs of its patrons, expanding its collection      11
and facilities to meet demand, and it is certainly deserving of high     12
praise; and                                                              13
     WHEREAS, The Putnam County District Library has become one of the   14
community’s most vibrant and venerable public institutions. Thanks to    15
the generous efforts of a host of local citizens, it remains an          16
outstanding resource for its patrons as well as an exciting hub of       17
language and learning that connects people through a variety of          18
programs; and                                                            19
     WHEREAS, Those who have nurtured, directed, and sustained the       20
Putnam County District Library merit praise for their remarkable         21
initiative, diligence, and resolve. With a wealth of vision and          22
vitality, they have shown how very much can be accomplished by a group   23
of conscientious, industrious people, and they can be proud that their   24
unflagging commitment to literacy, education, and volunteer service      25
has made it possible for the library to flourish; therefore be it        26
S. R. No. 287                                                     Page 2
