[LM_NET] Number of books/student

["Tripp, Bettina" <BTripp@ROCKYPOINT.K12.NY.US>]

Hi.  My principal just talked to me about an article he read (about the demise of 
the library...which he didn't have at the moment) that stated that the recommended 
number of new books a school library should have in order to stay current is 2 
books/student/year.  Have you guys seen anything like that or do you know of any 
statistics or other articles that might give such guidelines?  Thanks, as always, 
for your help.  Bettina
