10. One is for new
nonfiction titles.
(I reduced the original order by half to save money.
We need the books, but I know money is tight.
Also, PTA agreed to pay for this year’s fiction
titles. I understand the district’s financial
constraints- but a library withers and dies without
investment.)
11. One is for two online
databases.
(These two databases cover five content areas:
Science, Math, Computers, Geography, and World
Cultures. This requisition is in direct response to
the requests of the staff as seen in the surveys.)
12. But perhaps more
importantly, the quote
that we received to
update the library
software to Destiny is
going to expire soon.
