New Playaways are in!

Planning a vacation? Drive long distances each day? Enjoy reading but your eyes bother you? Have down time that you want to enjoy a book in? Feel like multi-tasking? For whatever reason, you may be interested in Playaways, portable audio devices that are simple to use. The Ritz Library has recently acquired 25 new Playaways, covering popular titles like Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich to classics such as William Shakespeare's Henry V and King Lear to comedic titles such as Tina Fey's Bossypants.  Each playaway is about the size of a small cell phone, is easily slipped into a pocket and may be played using a headset or with an audio cable attachment for your car or other speaker system.    

If you are interested, come view the audio collection located next to the Reference desk.  To take out a book, bring your DCC id card up and your selection to the circulation desk and they will be happy to check your items out.
