I really like the energy and excitement for after school programs. At this branch, particularly, all the kids are super excited and willing to try new things. I personally love chess, and I started one of the chess clubs here, start running one of the chess clubs here. And I was shocked to see all the kids willing to try even though they even if they never played before, if they played a bunch, they're willing to learn new things. So I was really just impressed with that energy.

Can you tell me about the photo we just looked at before? Yeah,

so that's an example of the energy that the kids bring to the library. It was a fashion show that we did. And I was really impressed with kids who dressed up and kids who didn't you just came as is and we're willing to make up a story around their outfit to try to sell themselves to the fashion show judges. So I was really just impressed that creativity and yeah, that I that I'm embracing the moment.
