Study pods available for check out at Carson High School’s library — Carson High School students looking for a quiet study option can now reserve one of the two soundproof study pods available in the school’s library. The district was able to purchase and install the pods thanks to a $28,000 grant that it received last year from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records.
The district said the school was interested in the pods after hearing feedback from students and faculty, who identified a growing need for quiet study areas amid increasing library traffic. The pods are equipped with ergonomic seating, adjustable lighting and high-speed internet access.
