Orcas Island Public Library presents the next generation of audio books — Playaway.

Playaway allows booklovers to escape into a bestselling book wherever they are and whatever they're doing.

Playaway units are self-contained devices roughly half the size of a deck of playing cards.

Currently, the Library has over 30 titles available for 3-week check out.

Newton Papers at the Cambridge Digital Library

The Cambridge University Library holds the largest and most important collection of the scientific works of Isaac Newton (1642-1727). The Cambridge Digital Library presents an initial selection of Newton's manuscripts, concentrating on his mathematical work in the 1660s. Over the next few months they will be adding further works until the majority of their Newton Papers are available on the site.
