With their typical consideration and love, my patrons have been destroying my heavy duty headphones in the Taylor Public Library computer lab. I have heard that some libraries sell inexpensive ear buds or lightweight earphones rather than providing them. Right now, this is sounding quite attractive.
Who out there is selling earphones/ear buds to the public? How much do you charge? Do you have a vending machine? How much does it cost you? Where the heck do you get your supply? Do you still keep some headphones for public use or do you just turn off the sound if they don't want to pay for headphones? Please let me know, and let others know too-all of our budgets are tight and this might be a good alternative to buying another round of expensive heavy-duty headphones. Thanks!
