WHEREAS, National Library Week is being celebrated in public libraries throughout the
country from April II to April 17, 2010; and
WHEREAS, public libraries are centers for education, information, knowledge and
entertainment; and
WHEREAS, public libraries and librarians advance teaching and learning by helping the
general public, students, faculty, and researchers obtain the best, most accurate, and complete
information; and
WHEREAS, public libraries are changing and dynamic places, offering books, computers,
internet access, e-mail reference and other innovative services to connect their users with ideas and
information; and
WHEREAS, public libraries provide technology training for library users of all ages and
help to bridge the "digital divide" for those who do not have access to technology at home or at
school; and
WHEREAS, more than 580,000 people use the Redding Library each year; and
WHEREAS, the Redding Library changes lives by serving more than 140 adults annually
through unique, confidential and customized literacy services delivered primarily through trained

to read, thus helping adults to achieve goals such as driver's license, writing a resume, obtaining
employment or reading a book to a child for the first time; and
WHEREAS, the Redding Library provides equal and economical services to library users,
and in many cases, serves as the community's only point of access to resources for learning.
