Baltimore County Public Library hosted a Playaway View Launch Event…complete with a “special character appearance!” The character was none other than Super Why! (who may or may not have been a Findawayer in costume). Over 200 kids and their parents showed up for the launch of Playaway View, which also consisted of storytime, mask-making, and picture-time with Super Why! Of course, we had to take our own picture with Super Why!…who can resist this loveable character?!?

Third Time’s the Charm!
We’re proud to announce that we’ve been nationally recognized for our success by Inc.’s 2011 prestigious 500 | 5000 listing of the fastest growing private companies in the nation…for the THIRD year in a row! Findaway World’s co-founder and CEO, Mitch Kroll, responded to this recognition by saying, “This honor is truly a result of the efforts of every Findaway World associate, known as Findawayers, as well as our passionate customers who inspire us to provide great products.” We agree. Kudos to all!
Love at First Sight!
At the Annual American Library Association (ALA) Conference this year, we were able to speak to librarians across the nation about Playaway and our recently released Playaway View. To help build the buzz, we hosted a LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT contest, where 3 librarians had the chance to win $2500 View collections. Hundreds of librarians participated by wearing their Love at First Sight pins throughout the weekend. You looked great, guys!
The Audies
The Audies are the Oscars of Audiobooks, and we were delighted to be a part of it. We had a great time hosting the late night at the Library Bar (yes, that was the actual name of the location!), and were so excited to see so many of you there! What happens at Audies stays at Audies.
O’Reilly Tools of Change
We’re always looking for new opportunities to build relationships in the “publishing-tech” community to help us continue to develop new products for our customers. Findawayers attended The O’Reilly Tools of Change in February, which propelled us forward as we networked, shared ideas, engaged in lively debates, and just soaked up the experience and knowledge in the air!
