(House Joint Resolution, by Mr. Comings.)

JOINT RESOLUTION.

Relative to publishing an account of the condition and work of the public libraries of Ohio.

WHEREAS, NO detailed account of the condition and work of the public libraries of Ohio has ever been published; and

WHEREAS, The publication of such information would encourage library extension in Ohio as it has done in other states; therefore

Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the board of library commissioners is hereby authorized to prepare and have printed, in addition to their regular report for the year 1900, sketches of the public libraries of the state with such other information relating thereto as can be obtained, and that not exceeding one thousand five hundred copies be printed for distribution by said board of library commissioners.
