[ISLMA-Share] "Average" size collection for 420 student middle school

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Lori

We have 750 students and I have 7700 books - I majorly reduced my reference
books last year and plan to overhaul my non-fiction (informational text)
this year.  We are one -to- one Chromebooks and have Overdrive digital
books too.
