Learn a new language with a Playaway

Thanks to the generosity of the Hollis Brookline Rotary, the library has a language series available on Playaway -- MP3 format. The Rotary’s donation enabled the library to purchase ten different language programs including Arabic, French, German, Greek, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. The Pimsleur Language Programs are well-known and highly-regarded language courses offered by Recorded Books. Available on Playaway, a “lightweight, compact, easy-to-use player,” each comes with one language course already downloaded.
