A new audiobook format
Now you can borrow Playaways at the Petawawa Public Library. Each Playaway device is loaded with one of the many new titles we’ve chosen for the launch of this user-friendly way of listening to your favourite authors.
No internet? No CD player? No problem!
All you need is your library card, your own headphones or ear buds and you’re good to go. And we mean go! Go for a walk, go for a run, or go wherever you go to get away from it all. You can even listen to your Playaway audiobook while driving, using the adapter cable we can supply on request.
Available titles
To see what’s available in this first round, view the complete list of Playaway titles. From there, place a hold, or visit us to see what’s on the shelf.
What you’ll get
Each Playaway comes in a bright orange case identifying the book. The device itself is only about 2 by 3.5 inches and snaps into a special recess in the case. If you would like to listen in your car, request the adapter cable and we’ll check it out to you too. The cable can be stored in the case, in its own bag, and must be returned with the unit.
What you’ll need
For your own protection, you’ll need to supply your own headphones or ear buds. For $2.00, you can purchase a set from the library. You’ll also need to supply a battery. And don’t forget your library card, of course.
Other ways to listen to Library books
Remember, we still have talking books on CD to borrow. You can also download Libby for access to eAudiobooks. Happy listening!
