Title: A Resolution recognizing the week of April 6 through 12, 2025, as "National Library Week" in Pennsylvania.
Status: Referred to Rules & Executive Nominations

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this resolution is to officially designate the week of April 6-12, 2025 as "National Library Week" in the state of Pennsylvania. The resolution aims to recognize and celebrate the important role that libraries and librarians play in communities across the state.

Key Provisions

  • Declares the week of April 6-12, 2025 as "National Library Week" in Pennsylvania
  • Encourages all Pennsylvanians to visit their local libraries and participate in library-related events and activities during this week
  • Calls on the Governor to issue a proclamation to this effect

Affected Parties and Impacts

This resolution would impact:

  • Public libraries and library systems across Pennsylvania
  • Library patrons and community members who utilize library services and resources
  • Librarians, library staff, and other professionals working in Pennsylvania's libraries

The designation of "National Library Week" would help raise awareness of libraries, celebrate their value, and encourage greater community engagement and support for these important institutions.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

SR 60 was introduced in the Pennsylvania Senate on August 27, 2025 and has been referred to the Rules & Executive Nominations committee for consideration. If passed by the committee and then the full Senate, the resolution would then be sent to the Governor's office for a formal proclamation declaring "National Library Week" in Pennsylvania for April 6-12, 2025.
