If you are a fan of audiobooks, but don't always have a CD player to hand (for instance, if you are exercising), Playaways are for you! Each Playaway is an entire audiobook contained in one small, portable, easy-to-use device, which you check out with your library card. Playaways in the catalog are denoted by this symbol to the left of the item record:
You can also look them up in the system using an author search of "Playaway Digital Audio". Try one out today and let us know what you think! The library does not provide headphones or batteries.
According to the Playaway website:
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.
