But the increase seems to have done more to help libraries expand their electronic resources than to update book collections, according to our most recent biennial survey of schoollibrary expenditures and resources.
The data show that the average schoollibrary budget is up $1,000 from two years ago, and that media specialists are enjoying higher salaries than ever- increases of as much as $4,000 a year for those working at the junior high/middle school level.
If you're a schoollibrary media specialist who manages a large number of services for students and teachers, you probably also have more money for resources compared to your colleagues who manage fewer services.
