Fiction vs Non-fiction

Having read an article by Herring (Teacher Librarians and the school library) I was astounded to realise that there should be more non-fiction than fiction books in a school library! I went into the library the next day and sure enough, that's what it is like. I had never realised before. It makes sense though. My perception of the school library being a place to encourage chn to be readers surely is being blown up - little bit by little bit.
