[OPLINTECH] headphones

[Mann, James H.]

Chris
We're trying to work our way out of free headphones, except for
children. It seems that our patrons have both expensive tastes and can
be very destructive so we decided that we can't keep providing $20
headphones.
Two suggestions: 
Use a headphone extension cable to put the headphone outlet at the front
of the computer
If you're going to buy headphones get the $2 ones.
IMHO

At Dayton Metro Library, we do not have public headphones as an option
currently.  We might in the future.  For those libraries that use public
headphones, we have a few questions.  Do you allow headphones for adult
and children workstations?  Do you sell headphones?  Do you provide
headphones free?  If free, what do you do about sanitation concerns?
Has sound become disruptive?  What policies do you have?  Thanks in
advance for your help and guidance.
