"You may have tangible wealth untold: Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be - I had a mother who read to me." -Strickland Gillilan |

Hyrum Library is now offering
Playaway – the first
self-playing digital audio book. Half the size of a deck of cards, Playaway is the simplest way to listen to a book on the go and,
with no tapes or CDs, can hold as little as two or as much as eighty hours of
content on each unit. Using clearly marked buttons, Playaway gives listeners
the ability to move back and forth within or between chapters and alter the
speed of a narrator’s voice. It even has an automatic bookmark feature that
remembers where you left off. Additionally, each Playaway weighs only two
ounces and has a universal headphone
jack that works with almost any type of headphone or mobility accessory.
Playaway is the simplest way to listen to digital content on the go. It comes with the audio content already pre-loaded on it and a battery to make it play. Simply plug in earbuds and enjoy!

Residents of other surrounding areas in Cache Valley may obtain a library card for a $30 annual fee.
