Playaway (audiobooks)
Digital Audio Players ("DAP")
for children & teens are now available at the Portage Public Library. Playaway is the simplest way to listen to audio books on the go. Each Playaway comes with the digital content already pre-loaded on it. Just add a AAA battery and headphones (or ear buds). Press the button and listen. The best way to search for Playaways is by author and put in "Playaway". Look for the red Audio Book stickers on the spine, along with the label
+F or YA

Playaways are located by the children's videos. Bring the Playaway container to the front desk for check out. Make sure to remove your battery and headphones from the Playaway player before returning it to the library. Thanks to the Portage High School class of 1940 for donating the funds for this new collection.
