| 1 | | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| 2 | | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | 3 | | Representatives wish to commend young Logan
Brinson of Alpha, | 4 | | whose love of reading and sharing books with others led him to | 5 | | open three book-sharing locations in his home town and one in | 6 | | the neighboring village of Rio, all of which are known as | 7 | | "Logan's Little Library"; and
| 8 | | WHEREAS, After moving to Alpha with his family in 2017, | 9 | | Logan Brinson, a five-year-old student, took action when he | 10 | | found that his
community did not have a public library; and
| 11 | | WHEREAS, Logan Brinson started his own "little library" in | 12 | | the front yard of his family's home as a
way to share his love | 13 | | of reading with his community, allowing Alpha residents to pick | 14 | | up a book they might be interested in reading or share a book | 15 | | that others might enjoy; and | 16 | | WHEREAS, The success of the first Logan's Little Library | 17 | | led to the need for a second location in Alpha,
recognizing | 18 | | that some children and families might not be able to easily | 19 | | cross US Highway 150 to access his
first location; Alpha's | 20 | | third location is now being established in the local pharmacy; | 21 | | a fourth location in the neighboring Village of Rio is also | 22 | | being established; and

a sense of community, which is | 8 | | all-too-often diminishing in our modern times; therefore, be it
| 9 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | 10 | | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | 11 | | we join the many friends, fans, and supporters of Logan | 12 | | Brinson's "Little Library" in honoring founder Logan Brinson; | 13 | | and be it further
