Yikes. We have about 270 kids, just over 12,000 items. Agree with Lori
about finding faculty allies. I know, for instance, our art teacher would
freak if we got rid of the 700s! Every LibGuide I create includes books as
suggested resources. And yes, students still love to read just for the heck
of it.
Good luck, and do keep us posted!

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!
