[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 152 (2006), Part 18] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 23776] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING THE SODUS LIBRARY RANKED #1 IN THE NATION ______ HON. JAMES T. WALSH of new york in the house of representatives Thursday, December 7, 2006 Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Sodus Library and their #1 ranking among libraries nationwide. Every year a list of the Nation's top 100 libraries is published. Hennen's American Public Library Rating Index looked at over 9,000 libraries and ranked them on various traditional services. This year, the public library of Sodus, New York ranked number one in its population category. As we all know, libraries are an integral part to all communities. We have all experienced the benefits of libraries; whether as a small child in a reading club or as a young adult working on a research paper. It is an honor for me and the people of Central New York to have the number one library in the Nation. I congratulate Sodus Librarian Carol Garland and her staff for all the hard work that has attributed to Sodus Library being considered the top in the Nation. ____________________
