Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E373-E374] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORION TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY ______ HON. LISA C. McCLAIN of michigan in the house of representatives Monday, April 27, 2026 Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a truly remarkable milestone, the 100th anniversary of the Orion Township Public Library. For a century, this institution has stood as a cornerstone of learning, connection, and civic life in Orion Township, serving generations of residents with distinction, care, and an unwavering commitment to the public good. Since its founding, the Orion Township Public Library has evolved alongside its community, adapting to changing times while remaining steadfast in its core mission: to provide open access to knowledge, foster lifelong learning, and serve as a welcoming space for all. What began as a modest local resource has grown into a vibrant hub of education, technology, and community engagement, reflecting both the history and the future of Orion Township. Throughout its 100 years of service, the library has offered far more than books. It has provided early literacy programs for children taking their first steps into reading, research resources for students pursuing academic success, and enrichment opportunities for adults seeking new skills and perspectives. From story times and summer reading programs to job search assistance and digital literacy training, the library has consistently met the evolving needs of its patrons with innovation and dedication. As it celebrates this centennial year, the library stands not only as a testament to its past, but as a promise to the future. Its legacy is built upon the countless librarians, staff members, volunteers, and community supporters who have dedicated themselves to its mission over the decades. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the Orion Township Public Library on its 100th anniversary. May its next 100 years be filled with continued growth, impact, and inspiration for generations yet to come. [[Page E374]] ____________________
