[AISLE-Share] Metal Shelving for Middle School Library

I've worked in two different libraries, one with wood shelves, the other
with metal.  I see no difference in sound.  What I do notice is that
bookends slip more on wood.  That being said, my metal shelves had a groove
in the center for bookends to be fastened into the grooves.  Aesthetically,
the wood is prettier.



Happily Ever After,
