New Playaways @ the Library

Have you listened to a Playaway yet?  According to the company, Playaway is the only format that makes audiobooks accessible for everyone - providing the portability of a digital audiobook with the grab-and-go convenience of a physical format.  Unlike CDs, Audio Cassettes or downloads, Playaway does not need a separate player.  Playaway comes preloaded, however, you will need to provide your own earbuds & AAA battery.  Check out some of our new Playaways below:
