Library Uses Grant Money To Purchase Audiobooks For Kids

(From the Findlay-Hancock County Public Library)

The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library has been awarded a grant of $5,000.00 from The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation. The funds are made available from the HancockREADS Grant 2024.

This grant has been used to purchase a collection of over 100 Playaway audiobooks for children. These audiobook devices allow children to listen to books without a CD player, phone, or other device. All they need to do is plug in headphones or a speaker.

“We’re excited that the grant from The Community Foundation has enabled our library to add this high-demand item,” said Sarah Cramer, Youth Services Librarian.

 “Playaways are a valuable resource for kids who do not have another way to listen to audiobooks. We hope the kids in our community enjoy them!”
