Playaways April 13, 2008

We have playaways - an easy way to listen to audiobooks! The book is already pre-loaded on its very own MP3 player. Just plug in your earphones and press play. When you want to pause or stop, the playaway remembers where you left off. It fits in the palm of your hand (or pocket). How easy is that?!

 

Stop by the Loft and check out the titles. In the catalog, they’re listed as [sound recording (Digital player)]. Listen to a playaway while you walk, ride the bus, hang out in your room…
