Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate National Library Week and National Library Outreach Day. This week is dedicated to promoting the importance of our local libraries.

Our libraries serve as a place to connect. Some use the library as a place to connect to the internet. Others may use it as a place to connect with new ideas or classes. Most importantly, our libraries connect our communities.

Today's focus, National Library Outreach Day, otherwise known as National Bookmobile Day, highlights the important outreach activities conducted by our local libraries.

Bookmobiles and other outreach events hosted by our libraries connect individuals who otherwise might not be able to access a local library. From events at elementary schools to senior living centers, these services are essential to our community.

Madam Speaker, I encourage you all to make a visit to your local library this week and thank the librarians for the work that they do.
