headphones

[Terresa Wellborn]

Instead of worrying about miscellaneous diseases that could be caught 
through shared public headphones, why not look into the possibility of 
charging patrons $1 or so to purchase their own pair of cheap headphones?  
(Next logical question: Would headphones be available for purchase at such a 
low price?  Answer: I don't know.)

Currently, my library charges patrons $1 for a floppy disk, why not extend 
that to a pair of headphones?  Just a thought.
