H.R. No. 1071



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, March 2005 marked the opening of the new Alamo 
Public Library, and this exciting occasion is indeed worthy of 
special recognition; and
	WHEREAS, With double the square footage of the old facility, 
the new library features a reference area, computer stations, and 
private study rooms in addition to its extensive selection of 
books; its unique inventory also includes early editions of poetry 
collections by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Alfred Tennyson, as 
well as a tribute to local poet and former library employee Sean 
McKelvey; and
	WHEREAS, The Alamo Public Library makes an inestimable 
contribution to the residents of its region; under the leadership 
of director Victoria Gonzalez, it will undoubtedly continue to 
provide its same high quality service in its new location across the 
street from the original facility; and
	WHEREAS, An inspiring affirmation of the community's 
commitment to learning, the Alamo Public Library is a shining 
symbol of education and culture, and it is indeed a pleasure to join 
the citizens of Alamo in celebrating the opening of this fine new 
library building; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commemorate the opening of the new Alamo Public 
Library and extend to all associated with this institution sincere 
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Alamo Public Library as an expression of the 
sentiment of the Texas House of Representatives.
