Several thousand books? We're a town of about 52,000 and the library has 160,000 or so items and should have more. I hope to increase the materials budget next fiscal year by at least USD 20K, bringing it up to about USD 160,000. And if I can do the same thing in FY2008, we'll be back to where we were in FY2003.

Anyone out there want to spend, oh, say, USD 150,000 on books and things?
