[Jennifer Starcevic <jstarcevic@MEISOC.COM>]

Thank you for all the responses I received!  Thank you Shelly, Colette, Mary, Jeni, 
Liz, Bridget for sharing about your libraries.  Wonderful!
Also, this website was most helpful for me:

thanks to Mary Taylor Holdenville Public Schools

I scrolled down to appendix G and so am now busy counting and measuring our 
shelving...

Thanks again! I love this listserve. :)

Subject: TAR: Elem Library ideal # of titles
Dear LM Netters,
If there is anyone out there whose Library is at capacity (or not-just specify), 
could you let me know:
1.    The number of titles you have in your collection
2.    The number of students and grade range you have at your school
3.    If you know it, the square footage of your Library or any other details you 
think may be helpful. (how many books you have per shelf?)
Alternatively, does anyone know of an article pertaining to this subject?  I 
searched the archives but didn't come up with anything...maybe I am not using the 
right terminology- any tips?
We have a varying opinion here at our school of how many books we can allow into 
our collection and I just wanted to check industry standards vs. actual, etc.
Thank you!
