I have a few students who have taken interest in the Manga section. The plays and poetry aren't as popular, but I've pointed a few hesitant readers towards the poetry section. They feel more comfortable with short form texts, and the poetry collections we just got are full of relevant and timely topics that the students can relate to.\r\nSpeaking of timely, we're approaching testing season, and students are not allowed to have their phones during the PSAT or SAT. Fortunately, I can point the early finishers towards the bookshelf and find them something to read during down time.

And I love the fact that I can print in color, since I also needed to print a warning sign when our elevator stopped working recently. I was able to print in bright red, which was easily seen by staff and students alike. \r\n You have allowed me to be more efficient and help students who are new to the campus and do not have access to computers immediately.
