Our students need opportunity to research topics of interest to them without disturbances. Research can be difficult for many high school students. Evaluating material from many sources, taking all information learned, and then developing it into a cohesive paper--whew, it's tough! Especially when others in the library are doing the same thing on their computers. It can be loud and distracting! With headphones, students can listen, read, & think without interruption! Our students need headphones at every computer so they will be able to concentrate and work without disruption. Our students would be so happy to have these new headphones.
