Gen: Private School Libraries

[Paige Ysteboe <Paige_Ysteboe@mail.abss.k12.nc.us>]

I have been asked to look over the collection for a private (Catholic) school
collection that is run by a volunteer.  Because I have always been a public
school librarian, I would like your input for what to look for in this library.
If you are in a private school library would you mind answering the following
questions?

1.  How many books per pupil do you have?

2. What is a reasonable budget to ask for?

3. When selecting books, I assume the volunteer should be more conservative
about controversial topics than I am in a public school.  Is this a correct
assumption?

Any other comments would be helpful too.  Thanks a bunch.
