Playaway/Wonderbook Policy

Playaways and Wonderbooks are audio versions of books that students can listen to while reading. Thanks to grants from Academic Boosters and Hancock Wood Electric, we now have added this type of resource to our collection.

K – 5 Teachers can check out Playaways and Wonderbooks for their students.

6 – 12 students may check out Playaways and Wonderbooks at the teacher’s request.

All Playaways and Wonderbooks must remain inside Riverdale Local School and cannot be taken home.

Earbuds are not provided by the library. Each student must have their own.

Any Playaways/Wonderbooks checked out during the first semester and not returned will be billed in January. Any Playaways/Wonderbooks checked during the second semester and not returned will be billed in May.

Replacement value varies between $40.00 - $70.00 per Playaway/Wonderbook.
