[ISLMA-Share] Headphones in Lab

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our school requires headphones as a school supply.  For those who don't
have them, we bought a bunch of super-cheap ones which we sell.  If a
student STILL is without, the school provides a set which they have to
return (we barcoded them like a book).
