[ISLMA-Share] small schools reference section

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I would consider keeping one encyclopedia set, almanacs of various types, dictionary or two at various levels, an atlas of the United States and the world, and any other reference materials that classes use for research.  If the books are old and inaccurate, I would get rid of them.  You might ask your teachers to see what they wished you had.

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] small schools reference section

I am wondering what small schools actually have in the Reference section.  Our school has about 400 PreK-8 students.  I am looking at my Reference and thinking some of these books are incredibly old!  I feel like getting rid of most of them.  So what do you recommend I keep in Reference?
