Try a New Medium: Audiobooks on Playaways!
 Playaways are self-playing, pre-loaded digital audiobooks in compact, easy-to-use players. Just provide one AAA battery, your own set of head phones and you're ready to listen! You can borrow them for 3 weeks, just like our other audiobooks.
Enhancing Security Within the Library
The library has installed security cameras on all levels of the building. The camera installation has been designed to protect the safety of patrons and library materials, but not to invade patron privacy. A security policy, which outlines how the cameras will be used and establishes privacy safeguards, has already been approved by the Trustees. This policy is available online and will be available at all service desks in the library.
Cary Library will be joining a large number of local and national libraries that are already using security cameras. Library users are welcome to contact Connie Rawson, Library Director, at 781-862-6288 ext. 312, with any comments or concerns.
