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

zenry; and

6, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC) is a multi-type
library network serving libraries and library systems in the five-county
Rochester region of Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Wayne and Wyoming coun-

library cooperation, service delivery and resource sharing, and serves
as a forum for the unified representation of library interests helping

take ownership of their library by volunteering and serving on a library
advisory group; and

tution of such noble aims and accomplishments is brought to our atten-
