I had a young mother come in to say in tears how thankful and grateful she was to see her child smiling again because that had not been seen since before the tragedy. Seeing the results of the children acquiring a love for the learning of reading and being interactive with the library, the excitement of discovery, those are the rewards that matter most to me.
