Hawthorne library user loses 25 pounds with Playaways
May I ask for your input for my blog on recorded materials, I asked a library patron checking in and out Playaways? What is it about Playaways that appeals to you?
“I have lost 25 pounds listening to Playaways while on the treadmill. I began by trying to read books, but turning pages and gripping handles while running on an incline was disruptive. Playaways are light and the recordings are continuous. No interruption, you can bookmark and search, you can even adjust reading speed, and the experience distracts from the work at hand. Now my wife is trying the same weight-loss technique.”
Alachua County Library District has more than 400 fiction and nonfiction Playaways. Patrons need to provide their own earphones, AAA batteries and treadmills for this weight loss program.
