Playaways - Genre
Playaways are digital devices that allow students to listen to book via headphones/ear buds. Each device has a companion book for students to check out that allows them to read along with the audiobook, or read and listen as they wish. Playaways are in a separate location in the library and genrefied by colored labels. For students to check out a playaway and companion book, they must first have a MVMS Playaway Contract signed by their parent. Unfortunately, playaways are expensive and not extremely durable. We want parents to know the replacement cost prior to any possible incidents.
