KISS
Keep it Simple has been the mantra for many of us over the years and I’ve now found the perfect little 2 oz, credit card size machine to help me do just this: Playaway - No downloads, no discs, just plug in the earphones and you’re off to Chapter 1. This has to be the simplest way to enjoy a book.
Our library owns more than 200 Playaway book titles (fiction and non-fiction) with 60+ of these in the Children’s Room. They are wildly popular and often reserving a title is the best option. Search the library catalog under Keyword – Playaway. Can you think of anything easier? Each Playaway comes packaged with earphones and a spare battery.
At the moment, during my early morning walk, I’ve been listening to In An Instant. Instead of making endless to-do lists in my mind, I’ve just finished another chapter! Now to make my point that this boomer can keep up with the millennials, you should know that my Cabrio disc player is loaded with the audio book, Geography of Bliss, and each evening I settle in my living room with the hardcover copy of the new novel, Mudbound. Yes, it has been a few years since my days at the Information Science School at Drexel, but we can all enjoy this new technology for reading books. If there’s a day you’d like to keep it simple, come in and check out one of our great Playaway books.
