The Children’s Room Staff has transformed the Children’s Room into a giant garden. There’s flowers, bugs, bees, butterflies, Oh My! Come and take the graden tractor for a spin, sit in the butterfly net or just stop and smell the flowers.
The Children’s Room is proud to announce the addition of Playaways, the newest technology in audio books, to our media collection. Playaway is the simplest way to listen to an audio book on the go. Each unit comes preloaded with one book on it. No cassettes, CDs or downloads. Simply plug in earphones (or earbuds) or a car adaptor to Playaway’s universal jack and enjoy! And at a mere 2” x 3 ¼”, the Playaway is the ultimate in lightweight portability. A Playaway may be borrowed for a 3-week loan period.
Each Playaway comes with:
1 Lanyard and 2 AAA Batteries; one in the player and one extra in the package. Each battery lasts for approximately 12 hours.
Due to health reasons, patrons are required to provide their own earphones for use with Playaways. If needed, new earphones may be purchased at the library’s main desk for $1.00 and may be used in any future Playaway unit you borrow.
1. Plug your earphones into the universal headphone jack.
2. Press the Playaway button to turn on the unit.
3. Press the Playaway button again and enjoy!
You can find our Playaway collection in the Children’s Room green book shelf by the gift baskets. Due to the size of the collection at this time, there is a limit of 1 Playaway per patron.
We have a great selection of children’s fiction - check one out today.
