[LM_NET] Target: library flooring

["Nancy J. Keane" <nancy@NANCYKEANE.COM>]

I was told as I was leaving today that I need to make a recommendation for 
a new floor for the library by first thing tomorrow.  Not like giving a 
little notice!!  So, I am turning to you to ask if anyone has done research 
on this lately and can recommend what type of flooring should be in a 
middle school library.  We have carpeting now but it is a mess.  Should I 
consider going with vinyl flooring instead of carpeting?  Someone suggested 
vinyl with carpet runner that could be taken out and cleaned or replace as 
needed.  I just always think that carpeting would be better but I am open 
to suggestions.

Thanks for your help.

Nancy
