 LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Ononda
 ga Free Library
 WHEREAS,  It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that the
 quality and character of life in the communities across the great  State
 of  New  York  is  reflective  of  certain  exemplary institutions whose
 purpose is dedicated to serving the community and the needs of its citi

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its  long
 standing  traditions,  this  Legislative Body is justly proud to commem
 orate the 50th Anniversary of the Onondaga Free Library; and
 WHEREAS, The Onondaga Free Library  has  proudly  given  50  years  of
 library service to the Syracuse community; and
 WHEREAS,  The  original library opened to the community on December 3,
 1961; the library's first location was in the Onondaga Town Hall; within
 a few years, it was realized that this space was inadequate to  properly
 serve its community; and
 WHEREAS, In 1969, the building at the library's current location, 4840
 West Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse, New York, was constructed; and
 WHEREAS, Ten years later, in 1979, the building was expanded to accom
 modate its growing community demand; and
 WHEREAS,  Keeping  up  to  date  with  technological advancements, the
 library has added many electronic devices to its  repertoire  and  added
 another  extension  onto the building; on May 1, 2010, the Onondaga Free
 Library held its grand opening  of  the  newly  expanded  and  renovated
 library, which can be seen today; and
 WHEREAS, In fulfilling its mission, the Onondaga Free Library provides
 reading  materials,  reference information, Internet and word processing
 access, and audio-visual resources to the community, as well  as  access
 to other information sources through existing county, state and national
 networks;  the  Onondaga Free Library also serves as a community meeting
 place and cultural center; in addition, children's programs are provided
 with emphasis on preschool learning; and
 WHEREAS, This occasion presents an opportunity  for  this  Legislative
 Body to recognize and pay tribute to the Onondaga Free Library; and
 WHEREAS,  Steeped  in  a proud and distinguished history, the Onondaga
 Free Library under the able leadership of  Director  Susan  Morgan,  may
 take just pride in its purposeful growth, as it looks forward to contin
 uing  to  serve  the educational, cultural and intellectual needs of the
 community; now, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause  in  its  deliberations  to
 commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Onondaga Free Library; and be it
 further
 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran
 smitted to Susan Morgan, Director of the Onondaga Free Library.
