ROCK SPRINGS– Mayor Carl R. Demshar Jr. signed a proclamation during the Rock Springs city council meeting on Tuesday, declaring the week of April 8 through April 14 as National Library Week.
The Proclamation
The proclamation recognizes the efforts that librarians and library workers do to better communities, campuses, and schools.
The proclamation states that, “libraries are pioneers supporting democracy and effecting social change, with a commitment to providing equitable access to information for all library users regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic status.
“Libraries lead in working with diverse communities, including people of color, immigrants and people with disabilities, offering services and educational resources that transform communities, open minds and promote inclusion and diversity.”
