[CPSLibraries] standard for book collections?

[Julie Hunefeld]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a standard for how many books a school library
should have.  I'm writing a grant for a K-8 library of 400 students and I
don't know exactly how many books to ask for to bring the library "up to
standard".  Do any of you have a # of books/student or a total collection
size that you are aiming for in your libraries - in an ideal world?

I've read them all.  They're very clean and well written.  I wouldn't keep
my higher leveled 4th or 5th graders from reading these book if it's at
there reading level. You'll find this will be most popular with the girls.
