The district allocation is increased to 50 cents per child. Eight itinerant elementary librarians are hired - one librarian for every four elementary schools. Each librarian spends one day a week in each school and the fifth day doing desk work. All 73 elementary schools have centralized, organized libraries and meet the state standards for staffing. 39 schools meet state standards for ten or more books per child.
Most schools also have filmstrip, recording, mounted picture, and transparency collections.
