[OPLINLIST] Early Literacy Stations

[Chad Neeper]

  Several of the libraries I work with have the ELS computers. The kids 
absolutely LOVE them. Over the years, I've come up with various versions 
of this concept on my own for my clients. However if any of my clients 
were to ask me to do that today, I'd strongly encourage them to purchase 
an ELS computer instead. Regarding the printer, several of my libraries 
purchased the optional printers...but none of them continue to maintain 
and keep ink in the printers. Nice in concept, but a bit messy in 
practice. I can't speak to the touch screen options; none of my 
libraries have the touch screen option.
