Libraries with no collection budget

[Maggi Rohde <maggi@INTRANET.ORG>]

I just discovered that the school I've been wanting to apply to work at
has no budget for its library's collection.  They get their books from
donations through the book fair only.  I'd be interested in hearing
opinions from those of you who have worked in libraries where this is the
case.  Coming from the public library in an affluent town, I can't even
imagine what that would be like. TIA!
