With all the recent less-than-heartening news about college athletes and academics, it's nice to see something positive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbYGCu26xVU Read the article here about University of Georgia's Malcolm Mitchell and the book club he joined to help him improve his reading. Our favorite part? Wait, but what about the touchdowns? "That came natural," Mitchell said. "That's a gift. I had to work to read." While we don't have a book club, we do have lots of great books for you to

In addition to new paint and carpet, we created a large group study room (learning commons), doubled the size of the computer lab to create a library instruction classroom/open computer lab, and added
