Try a Playaway
We’ve introduced a new audiobook format at Bushnell-Sage.
Playaways are devices smaller than a deck of playing cards powered by a AAA battery that will play a full audiobook. No need for a CD player, internet connection, or digital savvy - all you need are wired headphones, speakers, or an aux cord to plug into your home or car stereo systems.
Stop in and browse our available titles, or search “playaway” in the CW MARS catalog to find great titles from across the state.
Need an aux cord or a portable speaker? Check one out from our Library of Things!
Spread the news!
