The resolution, SR 1031, honors the efforts of Councilman Andrew J. Annaldo, Jr. and the local community in saving the Wanskuck Library, which first opened in 1910. The library, originally part of the Wanskuck Company's employees' library, faced closure in 1981 due to funding shortages, significantly impacting the Wanskuck and North End communities. In 1984, Councilman Annaldo, along with local advocates, successfully secured funding to reopen the library, although a fire delayed its public opening until June 3, 1987. The establishment of a Library Friends group further ensured the library's ongoing presence and support within the community.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of literacy and public libraries in fostering democratic participation and community engagement. It commends the collaborative efforts of Councilman Annaldo and the Library Friends group in making the library's resources accessible to all residents. The Senate of Rhode Island officially recognizes and celebrates these contributions, and the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to both Councilman Annaldo and the Wanskuck Library Manager, Denise Brophy.
