We've added 25 new entries and updated 5 others in our bibliography of out-of-school time (OST) program evaluations and research studies.

Included in this update are many state-level evaluations of 21st Century Community Learning Center programs. Additionally, we've added several studies that examine national-level data that address specific research questions of interest to the OST field, including:

• What are the current funding needs for after school? (Roadmap to Afterschool for All)
• Should policymakers and school leaders continue to pursue volunteer tutoring as a strategy to improve students' academic skills? (Effectiveness of Volunteer Tutoring Programs)
• What can we learn from young people about designing captivating opportunities for positive youth development? (Youth-Led Strategies to Captivate Youth Engagement)
