The Library

We only starting utilizing our city/country in the last few weeks. That's when Joe decided he wanted to start listening to books on tape while in dialysis. So, we started going to the library to find him books to listen to and he hit a gold mine.

Unfortunately, modern technology is changing how tapes are listened to in a variety of ways so listening to tapes on a cassette player is going the same way as the dinosaur. When we went into the library the other day, some of the staff recognized us. They said they had selected some books on tape and put them aside for Joe and we could return these tapes whenever we wanted or never. We were told to check with them every time and they'd send us home with more. How wonderful is that? These are the first books sent home - 18 in all.

This is what I'm checking out. They are called Playaways.

This is the size of the Playaway and it is all self-contained...

This is what it looks like. It can slip into a shirt pocket or a bra with no problem...
Now I've just got to find out which earphones/plugs to use. These all came from Dollar Tree...
Maybe I'll finally get around to "reading" some books. What a great way to pass the time going to and from work.
