[LM_NET] TAR: Your opinion on reference section

[Suzanne McRae <crlibrary@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,
 
I need your opinion about keeping the reference section in the library.  I work in 
a high school, and we have a very small reference section that is outdated.  I'm 
thinking of putting all those books in regular circulation, and using the space to 
expand my biography section.  This section is never used by our faculty or 
students.  The woman I work with (co-librarian) believes we need a reference 
section b/c some of the books are too heavy for the students to check out.  If that 
is the only argument, I'm for doing away with it.  
 
I would greatly appreciate your opinions.  Thanks so much.
 
Suzanne
