GEN: library design

[Lee Ann Kee <lkee@INCT.NET>]

Greetings,
We are currently in the process of finalizing plans for an extension to the
school that will include a new, larger library. We're a PreK-8 school with
approx. 350 students. I know that we will have 8 reference computers and 2
lookup stations, as well as our book collection. I'm currently being hit by
sales reps wanting to sell me new tables, shelves, computer carrels, etc.
It's so confusing. Does anyone have any advice about what should go into a
new library. It's hard to plan for the future. We will end up keeping part
of our metal shelving, but will need to purchase some additional shelves.
Any advice on planning for and moving into a new library would be appreciated.
TIA
