[CPSLibraries] standard for book collections?

[Chambers-Malewi, Dorsey J]

Dear Julie,

The standard is at least 10 books per student. I hope that helps.

Sincerely,

Dorsey

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.
