Shelby County Public Library - Shelbyville, Indiana. Welcome to the VELMA WORTMAN MORRISTOWN BRANCH of the Shelby County Public Library. Our library is dedicated to Mrs. Velma Wortman who was the first high school librarian at Morristown. We are pleased to honor Mrs. Wortman.
Families with college students and students themselves will spend $136.95 on apparel, $117.98 on food items to stock their dorms and apartments, $66.70 on school supplies, $72.79 on shoes and $78.02 on personal care items.
If the words school supplies call to mind a few pencils, a notebook, maybe a Trapper Keeper, get ready for the new math: The average K-12 parent will spend $100 per student on school supplies this year, up 12 percent from last year. And that might be getting off easy.
