Classroom sets

[Kimberly Brosan <kbrosan@NEWBERRY.K12.SC.US>]

I am curious about how many elementary school libraries purchase classroom
sets (approx. 20 copies of a title) out of library funds. With my small
budget ($4000) which I must use to purchase everything except AV and
Computer Equipment, it seems unfair to the students to buy that number of
multiple copies. What is your policy/position on this? I know I need to
serve all of my populations, but grade levels and teachers get budgets here
as well, and it seems like they might purchase these sets out of those
budgets.

Thanks for your input.
