The charging ports have allowed students to charge their chromebooks as they continue to learn. They are also useful at staff meetings and professional development workshops when teachers need to charge their laptops. The research state posters were used for 4th graders to complete North Carolina research. The acrylic stands have allowed paperback books to also be on display around the library. The button makers have been used to enhance research for various grade levels.
