Thank you very much to the Crawford County Board of Commissioners for the proclamation of National Library Week and steadfast support of libraries in Crawford County!
Pictured below are Commissioners Scott Schell and Eric Henry, CCFLS CEO Jessica Hilburn, and Commissioner Chris Seeley.
The proclamation reads:
Whereas, public library stand as bulwark institutions in their respective communities, offering not only opportunities for reading and research, but serving as invaluable conduits to social services, career enhancement, and educational growth at no cost to consumers, and;
Whereas, since its establishment in 1978, the Crawford County Federated Library System has grown to encompass nine diverse, vibrant, and active libraries throughout the county, and;
Whereas, the wide variety of services offered by our local libraries reach tens of thousands of visitors annually, enhancing their lives, fueling their minds, expanding their intellectual and creative opportunities, and offering the social connections that are such an integral component of the human condition.
Now, therefore, be it proclaimed that the Commissioners of Crawford County do hereby proclaim April 19th through April 25th, 2026 as National Library Week in Crawford County.
Be it further proclaimed that we graciously offer our thanks to the scores of library workers and volunteers across the country, and Crawford County in particular, and that we earnestly encourage all Crawford Countians to visit their local libraries, meet the staff, discover the programming and services that are offered, and give recognition to the value and worth of these beloved community assets. Visit a library, and "Find Your Joy."
