 What, you may ask, are Playaways??  Playaways are a cool, new thing in the world of audiobooks.  They are perhaps the most user-friendly way to access an audiobook.  These compact self-contained units come with an entire pre-loaded audiobook selection and are the perfect option for those without access to a CD or MP3 player. 

Listening is as easy as pressing a button, and when you pause, the player saves your place between sessions.  Weighing only about two ounces, a Playaway can easily be tucked into a pocket for portability while you go about your daily activities at home, at the gym, or outdoors.   Other useful features include the option to adjust the speed of the narrator to enhance your listening and a universal headphone jack that allows either use of your own headphones or of the earbuds provided. 

 

Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Ridgefield Library, the titles below have been added to our ever-expanding audiobook collection in Playaway format.
