EducationInventory Management4HighLibrarian$ implied

Elementary school librarian losing supplies and materials to theft in her makerspace due to inability to secure items or track usage.

Existing inventory management systems are too time-consuming for a solo librarian, and locking everything up reduces access and fun; no simple, low-effort tracking solution exists for small, high-turnover items in a school makerspace.
