Try a "Playaway" Digital Audiobook!

Are you one of those folks who think you’ll never have to chance to read every book that you want to? WCVPL has the perfect thing for you to try! The library began circulating “Playaways” on July 1, 2008. A Playaway is a digital audiobook that comes pre-loaded on an mp3 device, that is extremely portable, fun, and can be used virtually anywhere. All you have to do is plug in any set of headphones that has a standard jack, and push the play button. One of the best things about Playaways is that they can be plugged into almost any “mp3 accessory” that you currently own. I really enjoy listening to Playaways in my car, using a cassette adapter that is inserted into my car’s tape deck and the headphone jack of the Playaway—this enables the Playaway to be broadcast over my car’s speakers. I have also successfully listened to a Playaway book while mowing the lawn and cooking dinner :) Visit the library for a list of available Playaway books and check one out for yourself!

Here are a couple of pictures of one of our new Playaways. A picture of the front of thePlayaway in its case (left) and (right) a picture of the back of the Playaway.
