The good news is that more than 700 of the top Internet retailers and travel sites including Amazon, E-Bay, Target, Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us, Hotels.com, Apple, Expedia and more have joined forces with GoodShop.com to donate part of every purchase to your favorite charity or school at no additional cost to you (more than 64,000 nonprofits are now on-board)!

It takes just a few seconds to go to www.goodshop.com, select Yorktown-Mt. Pleasant Township Public Library, and then click through to your favorite store and shop as usual. Also, Yahoo has teamed up with GoodShop's sister site, GoodSearch.com, to donate a penny to your cause every time you search the web. This is totally free as the money comes from advertisers.

Playaways are the first self-playing digital audio book – adding the innovative digital format to our existing audio book collection.
Not an MP3 or CD player and not software, Playaways are the self-contained audio equivalent of a book. Playaways are half the size of a deck of cards, and require only user-supplied earphones and one AAA battery. Using clearly marked buttons, Playaways gives listeners the option of placing digital bookmarks and controlling the speed of a narrator’s voice, all while easily moving both forward and back through audio book selections that can range from six to twenty-four hours. The Playaways’ universal headphone jack works with almost any type of headphone or mobility accessory.

Playaways circulate for 28 days. If you do not have your own earphones, we have them available to purchase for $1.00 at the circulation desk. FAQ's
