[ISLMA-Share] Library Arrangement

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

This has been a hilarious thread to read. :) Personally I don't mind
furniture being moved (No place to hide in our library tho). In fact, our
casual seating is intentionally light & easy-to-move: $20-$30 Wal-Mart
saucer chairs that both students & staff love and which hold up
surprisingly well.
However you could employ a "thug librarian" (see youtube,com) to whip the
kids in line lol.
Enjoy your day!
:) Kathy
