Laura,
The Harker Upper school has a little under 800 students and 20,000 circulating
items. We, too, would find our teachers and students in an uproar if we
eliminated print! Good luck!

Subject: [baisl] Collection Size / Going Bookless
Will anyone please share the total number of books in their collection, and if
possible their total number of enrolled students?
I am facing an administration-instigated overhaul of the library into a
learning commons/makerspace, and the initial renderings have us going bookless.
I need to make the case for keeping a robust and healthy print collection, not
just a few token books for themed displays (the designers' actual suggestion);
I'm hoping to use the size of your collections to support my case.
We are meeting on this tomorrow morning, so your data is needed ASAP!
Thank you in advance for helping me fight for our print collection!
