The Public Library of Johnston County & Smithfield is excited to announce the addition of “Wonderbooks” to its collection for adult readers. Wonderbooks combine traditional print books with a built-in audio player, allowing users to listen and read simultaneously. This innovative format has already been a hit with younger readers, and the library is thrilled to expand its availability to adult audiences.

 

The Wonderbook format offers readers a unique, immersive experience, making it easier to multitask, improve comprehension, and engage with stories and information in new ways. For adult readers, it provides a convenient solution to challenges such as visual impairment while supporting better memory retention. Wonderbooks are perfect for anyone who enjoys reading along with the narration or who may benefit from the combination of text and audio.
