I love to recognize libraries and museums that are serving as models for the rest of our country, that are really a part of the life of each of their communities. And so I’m so thrilled to get to recognize six great cultural institutions, the ones that are the award winners today: COSI Toledo, the Johnson County Library, the Levine Museum of the New South, the Mathews Memorial Library, the Pratt Museum, and the St. Paul Public Library. Each one of these cultural institutions has demonstrated extraordinary service to their communities, and they serve as models for the rest of our country. Congratulations to each one of you.”
