MEMORIAL-STACKS THE CAT

This Senate resolution formally mourns the death of Stacks, a library cat who lived at the Litchfield Carnegie Public Library in Illinois until May 2024. The bill honors her life as a beloved mascot who greeted visitors, controlled pests, and was featured in various media outlets for her playful nature. It expresses the Senate's condolences to Stacks' family and friends, and directs that a copy of the resolution be given to them as a gesture of sympathy. This type of commemorative measure does not create new laws or change policy but serves to acknowledge the loss of a community figure.
