PLAYAWAYS ARE HERE!
Playaway is the “next generation of audiobooks!” Playaway is the simplest way to listen to an audio book on the go. Each Playaway holds an entire audiobook, regardless of length. You can easily navigate through the chapters, and with automatic bookmarking the story stops where you stopped listening. “No cassettes. No CDs. No downloads. Just play.” Patrons are responsible for obtaining an “AAA” battery, and earbuds to use with the playaways they check out from the library. An audio cable may be checked out to use the Playaway on your car stereo, home computer and home entertainment centers. The following titles are available for patrons to check-out from the library: The 13th Juror by John Lescroart, The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, Bungalow 2 by Danielle Steel, Burn by Linda Howard, The Cat Who Blew the Whistle by Lillian Jackson Braun, Chekhov: Eleven Stories by Anton Chekhov, Honorable Enemies by Joe Weber, Hot Stuff by Janet Evanovich, The Hunters by W.E.B. Griffin, and True Compass by Edward Kennedy.
