They are a "required" school supply here and yet many students forget them. Daily we have several students who come in and borrow a pair for an assignment, to listen to something while they work or any other number of reasons. I don't love lending them out to individual students. I have heard of some methods where a librarian may have a box of 10 for <i>teacher </i>checkout, but don't lend to individual students sporadically throughout the day.</div><div><br></div><div>I was just hoping someone had some creative ideas for making this less of a problem in the library.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>Kori</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><img width="420" height="210" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4z38v2ax9MX1d7l0x9hTQ_vMrwMIerYrxphzoVzCapYb7xgJO_rO8gLdA1mh8Z5JIBX-mdk22Y"><div><img src="https://api.accredible.com/v1/frontend/credential_website_embed_image/badge/29305675?key=542b91d2143c484fcc999c4cbd18ec983cea07e9f82c5d2b5f4891a5df16a645"><img src="https://api.accredible.com/v1/frontend/credential_website_embed_image/badge/45218382?key=151c9071f44ab70cee1b21c6f00df1ec158f8e3b054168bc0dad38eaa3f1844f"><br><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
