Proclamation No. 6, Series of 2017
National Friends of Libraries Week
Whereas, Friends of Vail Public Library raise money that enables our library to move from good
to great -- providing the resources for additional programming, much needed equipment, support
for children's summer reading, and special events throughout the year;
Whereas, the work of the Friends highlights on an on-going basis the fact that our library is the
cornerstone of the community providing opportunities for all to engage in the joy of life-long
learning and connect with the thoughts and ideas of others from ages past to the present;
Whereas, the Friends understand the critical importance of well funded libraries and advocate to
ensure that our library gets the resources it needs to provide a wide variety of services to all ages
including access to print and electronic materials, along with expert assistance in research,
readers' advisory, and children's services;
Whereas, the Friends' gift of their time and commitment to the library sets an example for all in
how volunteerism leads to positive civic engagement and the betterment of our community;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Dave Chapin, Mayor of the Town of Vail, proclaim
October 15-21, 2017, as Friends of Libraries week in Vail, Colorado and urge everyone to join
the Friends of the Library and thank them for all they do to make our library and community so
much better.
