[AISLE-Share] Metal Shelving for Middle School Library

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I attended the AISLE conference last weekend (which was fantastic by the
way!) and had the pleasure of hearing Fred Schlipf and Ann Ohms who work at
the University of Illinois share their thoughts on library design.

I would encourage you to connect with Fred, as he had much to say about the
best types of shelving during our session together.
