[ISLMA-Share] Library Furniture and Shelving

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Amy - we kept some of what we had - large wooden shelves which were along
and attached to a wall, but then purchased mobile shelving and mobile
tables with new chairs. We also purchased several alternate seating options
- cushions, stools, cafe tables with stools, and a dry erase topped table.
I am in elementary schools, so a different design for sure, but the
students are loving every bit of it. The new shelves we purchased are
wooden, but they are much less bulky which allowed us to do more with the
space we have.
