New & Noteworthy @ WHPLibrary

Have you tried one yet? These little bundles of cuteness are MP3 pre-loaded audiobooks that can be reserved for you at the library or using the online catalog.

Every Playaway comes pre-loaded with one rechargeable AAA battery that will provide an average of 20 hours of playtime. The majority of titles will only require one battery to listen to the entire title. Do not throw away the rechargeable battery if drained. Just put it in the Playaway Case and return it with the rest of the items.

You'll need to use your own earphones, or purchase a pair from the Circulation Desk for $2.00. Click here to Check out our collection!
