Playaway Talking Books
Listen on-the-go with Playaway talking books.
No cassette or CD player needed!

Franklin Public Library is writing a new chapter in convenience, offering Playaway digital audiobooks to our patrons!
Each Palm-Sized Unit is Permanently Loaded with an Audio Book to Make Listening as Simple as Pressing a Button.

Some of our titles include:

The Big Love by Sarah Dunn
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Eragon by Christopher Paolini


Not an MP3 or CD player and not software, Playaway is the self-contained audio equivalent of a book; half the size of a deck of cards. Using clearly marked buttons, Playaway gives listeners the option of placing digital bookmarks and controlling the speed of a narrator’s voice, all while easily moving both forward and back through audio book selections that can range from six to twenty-four hours. Additionally, Playaway has a universal headphone jack that works with almost any type of headphone or mobility accessory. Non-returnable earbud style headphones are available at the Circulation desk at a cost of $1.00.
