<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">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.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><font face="georgia, serif">Happily Ever After,</font><div><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="georgia, serif">Karrie Fisher</font></div><div><font face="georgia, serif">Media Center Specialist</font></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#ff0000" size="4"><b>Connect to the Roycemore Library Card Catalog: </b></font></div><div><font color="#ff0000" size="4"><b><a href="http://roycemorelibrary.follettdestiny.com" target="_blank">roycemorelibrary.follettdestiny.com</a></b></font></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Nov 2, 2018 at 1:47 PM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking at replacing the original shelving in my middle school library. The proposed design includes metal shelving on the perimeter of the room. Does anyone have experience with both wood and metal shelving, and can speak to the
difference in noise level? My students visit the library as a whole class, so we often have 25 students at a time browsing for books. Has anyone switched from wood to metal shelving and noticed a considerable difference in noise?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your help!<u></u><u></u></p>
