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-

rior customer service, inviting environments, excellent learning
resources, and have a strong support from their user communities; and
WHEREAS, The Chili Public Library exceeds all criteria; it has incred-

two words would be "Family Friendly!"; as you walk in the front door,
the atmosphere is bright and cheerful, and it has something for every-
one; and

correlation to the efforts of the many individuals who have supported
the development of the library over the years; and

skilled staff, whose involvement is and has always been characterized by
an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm, and an uncompromising
standard of excellence in all of their efforts on behalf of the library
and the population it serves; and
WHEREAS, Steeped in a proud and distinguished history, the Chili
Public Library may take just pride in its purposeful growth, as it looks
forward to continuing to serve the educational, cultural and intellectu-
al needs of the community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate the Chili Public Library upon the occasion of its desig-
nation as recipient of the 2010 Library of the Year Award by the Roches-
ter Regional Library Council; and be it further
