[ISLMA-Share] small schools reference section

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I am in a small PreK-12 school, about 430 students.  I went from 15 shelves
of reference to 6, and I'm ready to weed again.  Echoing what was said
above, I'm planning to keep an encyclopedia set, some dictionaries, a
thesaurus, and a few atlases, and our countries of the world set.  Those
are ones that I like to use as a jumping off point to online resources, and
those are the only ones that teachers ever request.  Good luck!  It's very
freeing, actually, and nice to have the extra space. :)
