Mrs. Bush's Remarks at the National Awards for Museum and Library ServiceHotel WashingtonWashington, D.C. 3:35 P.M. EST MRS. BUSH: Thank you, Bob, very much for your kind introduction,and for your leadership at the Institute of Museum and LibraryServices. And I know I can speak for everyone here, certainly yourboard members, in thanking you for your incredible work that you'vedone for the educational and cultural mission of libraries and museumsthroughout America. Thanks also to Congressman Dale Kildee and to Congressman BobFilner for joining us today. Thank you, both of you, for being here. And congratulations to this year's award winners. Everyone hereknows how important libraries are to me. Some of my happiest memoriesfrom my childhood were the times I spent reading books with my motherthat we'd checked out of the Midland Public Library. As an only child,I learned a long time ago that as long as you enjoy reading, you'llalways have a friend by your side. So like many of you, I lovedreading so much I decided to make a career of it. Museums take stories off the page and give people athree-dimensional image of our world. Museums feature everything fromdinosaurs to Degas. Many children feel their heart flutter for thefirst time when they wander wide-eyed through a museum. The libraries and museums we honor today fuel the imagination andthe intellect. The Flint Public Library, the Mayaguez Children'sLibrary, and the Medical Library of the University of Texas HealthScience Center at San Antonio are using education and outreach toimprove the lives of people in their communities. The Chicago BotanicGarden, the Western Folklife Center, and the Zoological Society of SanDiego educate their visitors about how the world works and how it hasevolved over time. The Flint Public Library serves a diverse community with programsdesigned to help children explore their culture and find their voice.One of the young men who found his voice in Flint is Martres Brown.Martres has been visiting the library almost every week since he wasfive. Now, at age 18, he chaperones his younger brother during visitsto the library, and he tutors children so they can enjoy reading asmuch as he does. Martres is following the path of legendary speakerslike Malcolm X by polishing his oratory skills. He's already renownedas a student orator in Flint, and in just a few minutes, he'llintroduce his talents to Washington. Thanks so much, Martres. In Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, the local library is a stepping stone tocollege and a better life. More than half the town's population livesbelow the poverty line, and nearly half of teenagers drop out of highschool. The bilingual Mayaguez Children's Library has a staff of justfive people, but hundreds of community volunteers and supporters helpstudents become literate in both language and technology. JonathanSanchez came to the library through a mentoring program. He developeda love of reading and computers, and he found a second family in theclose-knit staff and volunteers at the library. As Jonathan gets readyto graduate from high school this spring, he has a 3.8 grade pointaverage. In the fall, he'll enroll in the University of Puerto Rico.Jonathan, you want to stand (Applause.) At the Medical Library of the University of Texas Health ScienceCenter at San Antonio, the staff sum up their philosophy as \"each one,teach one.\" It guides their efforts to improve the health of medicallyunderserved people in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Flor Zuviri, a highschool student, contributes to that work. For the past four years,Flor has worked with the Medical Library to prepare bilingualpresentations on healthy living and disease prevention for children andadults. This is just the beginning of her medical career. Flor isgoing to college in the fall and plans to become a pediatrician. Flor,where are you There you are. Thank you. (Applause.) The Chicago Botanic Garden offers plenty of green space to city andsuburban residents. The Garden hosts programs that let people of everyage get their hands dirty -- literally -- as they learn how plantsgrow. Brianna Sampson's interest in gardening was passed down from hergrandmother. She's been active in the Chicago Botanic Garden's \"GreenYouth Farm,\" where she learns about horticulture, agriculture andbusiness. Brianna's love of science is leading her toward pharmacyschool once she graduates from high school in May. Brianna -- where isshe There she is, on the front row. (Applause.) As a child of Texas, I have a special place in my heart for theAmerican west. The mountains, the prairies and deserts have captivatedAmericans' imaginations for centuries. Now the Western Folklife Centerin Elko, Nevada, is putting the story of the west on display. Exhibitsand workshops show how the west developed over decades, while fieldworkand archives preserve the legacy of western life. The National CowboyPoetry Gathering, held every year, puts a spotlight on poetry inspiredby the west. Linda Hussa draws on her experience as a rancher increating her works. She's presented her poetry at the gathering inElko, which she says is \"akin to performing at Carnegie Hall.\" Today,she'll recite one of her poems for us. Every year, more than five million visitors view and learn aboutthe animals at the San Diego Zoo, one of the most famous zoos in theworld. The zoo also brings animals into the community -- under closesupervision -- to educate people and to participate in therapeuticexercises. Bonnie Beckman has been wild about the zoo since she wasfour years old. She learned about animals and their habitat throughthe Zoo School, which offers activities for children ages four toeleven. Now she volunteers her time to make presentations aboutendangered species and conservation. As much as people enjoy the zoo,Bonnie knows what really makes a zoo great. She says one of the bestthings about the San Diego zoo is that the animals seem happier than atany other zoo she'd ever seen. They really thrived. Bonnie.(Applause.) The young people who are here today, and countless others, areenriched by the libraries and the museums we honor. Children andadults are drawn to each of these institutions because, quite simply,they're fun. Thank you all, each one of you, for opening eyes and minds to thewonders of reading and exploration. And congratulations on yoursuccess. Thank you all so much. Congratulations. (Applause.) END 3:43 P.M. EST Printer-Friendly Version Email this page to a friend
I actually chose WWU for the Equestrian program. However, coming into my second year I am now majoring in Business. I love William Woods because of the small family-like atmosphere the campus has. It allows for endless leadership opportunities in and outside of the classroom that you just can't find in bigger universities. 59ce067264
