[aisle] Spending per student

[Flaherty, Megan]

Here is the ALA’s statement on budget recommendations: $12-$15/student/year as well as a collection of 20-25 books/student. Our school spends a little less than that but we are looking to increase our budget next year. Hope this helps!

Subject: [aisle] Spending per student

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there somewhere to find an average spending per student in IL? This would be for books/ebooks/audiobooks only. Not including databases.
If this doesn't exist, would you mind sending me what yours is?
Thanks!
