RUIDOSO PUBLIC LIBRARY WRITES NEW CHAPTER IN CONVENIENCE, OFFERS PRE-LOADED PLAYAWAY® DIGITAL AUDIO BOOKS TO PATRONS
Half the size of a deck of cards, Playaway is the simplest and best way to listen to a book on the go and – with no tapes or CDs - can hold up to eighty hours of HD Audio content on each unit. With every title recorded in HD Audio, Playaway’s audio quality is unsurpassed. Using clearly marked buttons, Playaway gives listeners the ability to move back and forth within or between chapters and alter the speed of a narrator’s voice. It even has an automatic bookmark feature that remembers where you left off. Additionally, Playaway has a universal headphone jack that works with almost any type of headphone or mobility accessory.
“Playaway’s simple functionality and immediate usability separate it from other audio book formats,” said Beverly McFarland, library director. “With Playaway, our patrons can enjoy best-selling content with first-rate digital audio.”
There are many titles on Playaway, including many selections for children, language learning programs, bestselling adult fiction, and classics. As the Playaway format is friendly for listeners of all ages, every patron can enjoy the new format. The Ruidoso Public Library collection includes:
- Tishomingo Blues by Elmore Leonard
- Black Money by Ross MacDonald
- Over the Northern Border by Max Brand
- Even by Andrew Grant
- The Zimmerman Telegram by Elizabeth Tuchman
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
“With Playaway, we set out to create a product that was portable, technologically simple and easy to use, and it’s been a perfect fit for libraries,” said Caroline Barni, Director of Marketing + PR, Findaway World. “In fact, 99% of our current library customers would recommend Playaway to another library. We are excited to have provided such a welcome audio format for this important channel.”
