Peters Library Offers New Product

is one of nine libraries in the country—and the only in Pennsylvania—selected as a beta testing site for the new Playaway View™ from Findaway World.

Yesterday, the Playaway View, the first portable all-in-one video player, became available for library patrons to borrow.

Visit a remote coastline, improve your financial know-how or unwind with a classic movie or TV show. The lightweight, portable device has been preloaded with 28 different videos, so there is no downloading content or Internet connection necessary.

Weighing only 5.4 ounces, Playaway View is a convenient, low-maintenance solution for librarians and patrons. The device comes with a 3.5” full-color LCD screen with a shatter-resistant acrylic screen cover. The built-in speaker makes sharing up to six hours of content easy, while the headphone jack outlet offers a library/parent-friendly quiet option. It can be recharged with a standard AC adaptor.

“Playaway View’s simple functionality, full LCD viewing screen and expansive content selection make it a great addition to the Peters Township Public Library,” said Pier Lee, library director. “With Playaway View, our patrons can enjoy highly acclaimed content in the palm of their hands.”

As the library is participating in a trial program for this new product, patrons who check out a Playaway View will be asked to complete a short online survey to give feedback about the device. Hard copies of the survey are also available at the library.

Patrons who participate in this special beta testing and complete the survey will be eligible to win a $100 Visa gift card.
