Target: New elementary school libraries

[Walt & Helen Ewings <hewings@MINDSPRING.COM>]

Dear LM_Netters,

We are fortunate enough to be going to build a new school with a new =
library.  It has a story area, tables and chairs in the main area, areas =
for library computers, etc.  It has been designed with a student =
classroom in the library and a computer classroom next to the library.  =
Question:  In order to cut space it's been recommended that the library =
classroom be cut or replaced with the computer classroom.  For =
experienced librarians, what has been your experience with a student =
classroom in the library? How about experience with computer classrooms =
in the library?  Also, where would you suggest searching for information =
on what is required for library facilities for elementary schools?

Thank you.
