TARGET: Ideal ratio books to students

[Annette Cardosi <michi96748@YAHOO.COM>]

Greetings,

This is my first post, so please forgive me if it's not entirely correct.
I need information about how many books an elementary school library
should have in its collection; if you had unlimited funds or some extra
money, how many library books should you have for each student in the
school? My school population is approximately 700. Any help from any
source, especially sources which non-library folks would appreciate, would
be greatly appreciated. PTA voting this Wednesday, Jan. 10, on how to
spend money. I'd like to see some of it go to books, but need more than my
love of books to make my case. Thanking you in advance.
