Library furniture

[Karen Weaver <kweaver@ajhs.ajusd.org>]

We are currently having the wonderful experience of choosing furniture for
our new (going to bid next week) tech center and library. I have a couple of
questions for those of you in libraries that have real library furniture (as
opposed to my folding tables and plastic chairs.)  If you could spend a
minute, we'd be eternally grateful.

         As far as chairs for the library/study tables go, I know I want wood with
sled bottoms.  The question we have is whether an upholstered seat and back
are a better buy than all wood chairs.  Does the upholstery hold up well?
Does the wood get gouged easily?

        If you have a "patron ledge" on your circulation desk, how is it supported
and how sturdy is it?

If you have any other advice or suggestions, I'm listening.

        TIA!
