Listen with Playaways

The Library has a great selection of audiobooks for your listening pleasure. We have the traditional audiobooks on CDs, but we also have another way to listen to books that you may not know about: Playaways! Playaways are small devices with pre-loaded audiobooks that you can plug your headphones into (not included) so you can listen while you work or when you're on the go. It runs on a AAA battery (not included) for hours of listening time! 

Playaways can also be plugged into your car using an AUX cord (not included). That will allow you to listen to your book through the speakers of your car. You can fast forward, rewind, skip chapters, and pause your story. You can control the speed of the narrator's voice to the pace that fits you best. The Playaway automatically saves your place when you power down the device so you can pick up right where you left off.

Playaways can be found in the audiobook room on the back wall. Our Playaway collection features the newest and most popular audiobooks. Some of our newest additions are The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley, The Briar Club by Kate Quinn, and The Talk Show Murders by Al Roker. 

Other great Playaways in our collection include The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, and You Like It Darker by Stephen King. We have many Playaways by authors such as James Patterson, Michael Connelly, J.D. Robb, Danielle Steele, and Sandra Brown.
