In Baltimore, library coordinator Della Curtis keeps examples of outdated books from the county's school libraries on a "shelf of shame." Curtis spearheaded a drive in Baltimore that led county officials this year to fund $10.5 million for the purchase of new books. Today, Curtis tells Education World writer Mary Daniels Brown how she accomplished that.

"Replacing the collections will bring us up to 80 percent of state standards," Della Curtis, coordinator of the county schools' office of library information services, told Education World. Baltimore County is the 24th largest school district in the country. The Baltimore County secondary schools need this money for new library materials. According to

MARBLEHEAD PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY I. Objectives for Selecting Media The primary objective of each school’s library media program is to enrich and support the instructional program of the school. The school library media program makes available, through the school library media collection, a wide range of materials on varying levels of difficulty with a diversity of appeal compatible with the different needs, interests, and viewpoints of students and teachers. To this end, the Marblehead School Committee asserts that the responsibility of the school library media program is as follows: - To provide school library media that will enrich and support the curriculum, taking into consideration individual needs and the varied interests, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and the maturity levels of the students served. - To provide school library media that stimulate the growth in factual knowledge, literary appreciation, aesthetic values, and ethical standards. - To provide a background of information enabling students to make intelligent judgments in their daily lives.
