[ISLMA-Share] books per student?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

The ALA no longer has a "books per student" guideline, but they publish
some resources where you can look for more info. I think the old guideline
was 20 books per student for elementary, but I've seen up to 27.
