General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Orrville
Public Library on the auspicious occasion of its One Hundredth
Anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting
tribute to the Orrville Public Library, for throughout its history,
this fine institution has attained a remarkable record of service to
the area. Begun in 1925 as a collection of six hundred books in a
vacant room at the high school, the library dedicated its present
building in 1941, and with the vision of becoming an expansive
community resource, it completed an addition in 1977 and another
addition and renovation in 2000; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Orrville Public Library has
fostered education, culture, and individual growth and achievement by
providing a variety of innovative and beneficial programs and
services. As a focal point for many local activities and a valuable
instrument for community improvement, the library has earned the
respect and appreciation of countless patrons and has set an example
of excellence that is worthy of emulation; and
WHEREAS, Public libraries play an important role in today’s
society, serving as receptacles of shared knowledge, information, and
ideas. They provide a means of enjoyment, self-advancement, and
intellectual development for all individuals, and as repositories for
the best of our nation’s intellectual endeavors, they are vital to the
preservation of our country’s heritage, principles, and ideals. We are
proud to note that it is through the efforts of institutions such as
