GEN: tape cassette recorders- advice needed

[Robin Cicchetti <rcicchetti@COLONIAL.NET>]

I am submitting a grant to stock my K-5 library with a book-on-tape
collection.  As part of the grant request I am seeking funding for a
number of tape cassette recorders.  (These would be checked out to
students in the METCO program who are bused out to the suburbs from inner
city Boston on a daily basis.  They spend  a long time on the bus.)  Does
anyone check out cassette players as a part of their books-on-tape
collection, can you tell me how it is going, and make any recommendations
on what type/brand/make of cassette player I should purchase?
I have checked the archives and vendor catalogs but would like some advice
from the field.

Many thanks,
