[aisle] Experience with VR Headsets

[Jamie Winchell]

We have a set of 5 View Master VR headsets
<https://www.amazon.com/View-Master-Virtual-Reality-Starter-Pack/dp/B011EG5HJ2>.
I like them better than Google Cardboard (which we started with) because
they can be sanitized easily. These have held up well with lots of use.
They definitely need to be cleaned after lots of handling.

I use them mostly as stations in the library: for MLK Day, for National
French Week, for Hispanic Heritage Month, etc. I would like to have
teachers use them as a fold-in for instruction but I haven't made that
happen yet.
