This picture, showing students working and reading after school, is one of my favorites that I have taken recently. Not that it is an amazing photo by any stretch of the imagination, but because of what it represents.

A year ago, in our old building, we didn't have space for even one table in the library. Six months ago it was so hot in the library that this never would have happened. Now, with a new building and A/C, we are finally able to provide a place for students to use after school. Elementary students work one-on-one with their tutors and high school students come in by themselves or in groups to work. Books are checked out, laptops are used, and homework gets finished. In my mind, that's a success.
