I see six "pods" of normal library activity; all functioning well, all using library voices. One group represents a particularly intense learning experience. It is a 90-minute student/tutor experience that takes place every other day in the library. It neither interrupts other activities, nor is it compromised by other activities. Surprisingly, tutoring in the library was not a strategic choice for our school, it was an only-available-room might-as-well-settle-there "decision."
Using the library as a strategic tutoring center is just one of the "resource" options I think our school might consider for an evolving library space. As we look at the number of students in need of remediation, in need of homework help, in need of time and space that we say is at a premium in our school, I submit there is a place with time and space to address these needs.
