[ISLMA-Share] Library Furniture and Shelving

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I am collecting information on this as well.  I have been debating getting
more solid-looking furniture (we currently have large, wooden library
tables and some smaller wooden tables) versus something that lends more
toward flexibility with the space.  I'm in a high school.  For those who
have experience with either type - pros and cons of changing it up or
keeping with the same concept?  I would be keeping some of the furniture we
already have, but refurnishing only one part of the library.

Thanks for the help!
