Miriam-Webster defines an audiobook as a recording of a book or magazine being read aloud.
Hopkinton patrons love audiobooks and have the opportunity to borrow BOOKS ON CD, Playaways, or digital audiobooks.
Last fiscal year (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023), Hopkinton patrons downloaded 160,174 audiobooks.
Do you know what a Playaway is? Playaways are audiobooks packaged on a single small digital player. They are easy to use and contain a single audiobook. We currently own 245 popular ADULT titles. Our Children’s Playaways are also very popular.
Why not celebrate Audiobook Month by downloading a title from our Overdrive collection, or borrowing a Playaway to listen to while you’re walking or riding in your car? They’re also great to take on trips!
