 four decades as a teacher, school librarian and library administrator and

 Instruction in 1985; and

   Whereas, An enthusiastic and vocal advocate for public school

 libraries and librarians, Stanley Fuke untiringly seeks extra funds to

 supplement the collections in school libraries and is a leader in the

 promotion of technology for the administration of the libraries and for the

 information resources they contain; and

   Whereas, Stanley Fuke is an active member of professional library

 associations at the local, state and national levels and works continually to

 keep abreast of what is new in the field of library services; and

   Whereas, Over the years, Stanley Fuke has developed an excellent

 working relationship with the public library system and has worked to

 rejuvenate the library science program at the University of Nevada, Las

 Vegas, to ensure that school libraries in Nevada will have well-trained

 librarians to meet the needs of the school districts; and

   Whereas, Publications authored or co-authored by Stanley Fuke

 include the Nevada School Library Standards, the Nevada School Network

 Governance and User Applications and the K-5 Library Curriculum

 Guide; and

   Whereas, In 1997, Stanley Fuke was inducted into the Clark County

 School District’s Excellence in Education Hall of Fame, an honor that

 recognizes persons who have made extraordinary and lasting contributions
