5/5. #Playaways are tiny. Simple too. Lightweight. You can fit them anywhere. One AA battery, headphones, and you‘re good. And there you have it! 😊

Bookzombie As far as I can tell, my library doesn‘t have these. 😕 5y
LiteraryinLawrence This is so interesting! I‘ve never heard of this concept! 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 You know, it rings a bell. I think my friend in Cali was using those prior to Overdrive. 5y
BooknerdsLife Never seen one before! Is it for use inside the library? 🧐 5y

4/5. This is what you find inside the packaging for #playaways. The library has a special device to open the case—you slide the case‘s mouth one way to open it and the other way to close it. Instructions for how to put the battery and headphone in are behind the playaway. The other side explains operations.

BooknerdsLife Oh I see... like a mini player for tiny audio book 🤓🤗 That‘s very nice for those who don‘t have access to mobile app! 5y

2/5. From the front and spine. They aren‘t big, maybe the size of a thin small paperback.

Librariana We have SO many parents at the library who love this is an option for their kiddos who may not have access to a smart phone or mp3 player. One mom mentioned they're her saving grace on car rides because each kid can listen to something different when they head to their various after school activities 😊 5y

1/5 A while back, I promised to show folks what #playaways look like. I‘ve got 5 pictures for you 😊. Here‘s part of the section at my library. I don‘t know about other libraries, but ours come in orange cases. 😁

Kimberlone I‘ve never seen these before! I wonder if my library had these...I never go in the audio section 5y
Crazeedi I have never seen these in my library. Now I'm going to have to show them this and see! It's a small library, so not sure if they'd have funds to have these, but they'd be awesome 5y
Cailey_Mac Whoaaaa😲 5y

LibrarianRyan Originally they came in clear VHS cases. I really liked when the changed to the orange. 5y
Booknerd2 Orange cases at my library too. 5y
Lizpixie I‘ve never heard of them!! Why don‘t we have these in Australia??? 5y
TheSpineView Have never seen one before. But then I don't get to the library very often. I use Libby for my library needs. 5y
BooknerdsLife @Lizpixie I‘m just thinking the same thing too!!! We need this in Australia! 5y
Librariana Ours come in orange cases, too 😁😊 We may not be acquiring them in the future, so we're extra careful about keeping those when we run our inactive reports. 5y

I really enjoyed listening to this thriller taking town in small town France! The narrators did a great job capturing the voices of the characters!! I was pleasantly surprised with the twists & turns of events both in the present and flashback storylines. I'm eager to read or listen to the next book of Kate Horsley. As always, more in-depth review on #Goodreads. I like #playaways!
