Do you like to listen to audiobooks while you walk, clean around the house or on your drive to work, but are tired of having to change CDs? Here's the answer - listen to your next book on a Playaway!What is a Playaway? It's a small device (half the size of a deck of cards) that comes preloaded with up to 80 hours of HD audio content on each unit. All you need is a battery and headphones and you're all set to listen to your favorite book! You can also listen to a Playaway in your car. If you have an auxiliary jack in your car to listen to your MP3 player, you can listen to a Playaway. It's that simple.
A Playaway is easy to use. It has clearly marked buttons which give you the ability to move back and forth within or between chapters and alter the speed of the narrator's voice. It even has an automatic bookmark feature that remembers where you left off. It's also lightweight - it only weighs 2 ounces!
Last Thursday we launched this new format at Monroeville Public Library to great success. Take a look at our Adult and Teen selections. There are several other libraries in the county that also carry Playaways, so if you don't see something that interests you in our list, you can always search the entire county for it.
