Staff -- School Library Journal, 10/01/1998

After years of famine, Denver's public school libraries may finally get a chance to feast. Libraries are a key item in a $17-million school tax-hike proposal that will go before Denver voters in the November election.

The plan would allocate $2 million a year to restock libraries and buy textbooks, along with $3 million for technology, much of which would go to libraries as well. The money would make a dramatic difference in the school district's severely depleted and aging collections, said Jody Gehrig, manager of educational resource services.

"We have many school libraries where we need to pull up a Dumpster, dump the whole thing, and start over," she said.
