[aisle] To lend or not to lend (headphones)

[Renee Welch]

Our school has required headphones too and we have the same problem. We get
about 100 CHEAP bulk headphones and we sell them for $1.  If they don't
have their $1 then we add a fine to their library account as a fine.  It's
put on our pushcoin collection if not paid off by the end of the year. Our
bulk headphones are just found on Amazon.
Happy Friday!
