Whereas, today's public libraries utilize new and emerging technologies to provide access to a wealth of informational resources and services; and
Whereas, public libraries play a vital role in fostering literacy in our communities; and
Whereas, over 2.3 million people are registered library users; and
Whereas, over 19.8 million people visited South Carolina's public libraries in fiscal year 2006; and
Whereas, 21.5 million books and other materials were borrowed; and
Whereas, 637,440 children were in attendance at 22,123 children's programs; and
Whereas, a recent study by the University of South Carolina, School of Library and Information Science reported that every dollar invested in our public libraries results in a return investment of $4.48. Now, therefore,
