[LM_NET] MP3s in the library

[Katherine Starks <StarksK@OACSD.ORG>]

Hello colleagues,

I am engaging in a debate, both with myself and my administration, over whether 
students should be able to listen to iPods and MP3 players in the library (with 
earbuds firmly in place, of course). I am inclined to allow them, but they are not 
allowed in my school during the school day. I would have to request that the 
library be the one place where they are allowed, which will take some evidence that 
others are allowing them and some positive reasons why they should be allowed. 
Before I offer my own opinions, I'd like to hear what others are already doing. And 
if you don't believe they should be allowed in the library, please let me know that 
as well and your reasons. It would help me to create a pro/con list. I'll post a 
HIT of responses if there's interest. TIA for any insight y'all can provide!
