Book quotas

["Kevin T. Clement" <ktclemen@UNCG.EDU>]

I have been just informed by a media specialist of 35 years that in her
district and in her region, there is no specific standard requiring a
certain number of books per student.  Is this the same situation in all
other regions?  Has this been one of those urban myths passed on by
librarians?  I appreciate all responses but supported facts will be of
greatest use to me.  I have read an article written in 1998 that states
that some state accreditation requirements require so many books per
student.  I guess you can understand my confusion. Thanks in advance
