FYI,

 

GET READY FOR 2018 SYNC AUDIOBOOKS FOR TEENS

SYNC Audiobooks for Teens kicks off its ninth year on April 26th. It’s a free summer audiobook program sponsored by AudioFile Magazine and powered by OverDrive that pairs YA books with classics for teens aged 13+. Teens, librarians, club leaders, and educators may sign up for email or text alerts about these FREE offerings and can learn more at www.audiobooksync.com. SYNC also has a toolkit you can use to publicize it with your teens at http://www.audiobooksync.com/

Any individual may participate by downloading the OverDrive App to their device of choice and returning to the SYNC website each Thursday after 7am EST to download the new audiobook pair for the week. Each title is available to download for one week only, but once downloaded may be kept by the recipient.  Teens can build their listening collections and experience literature in a new way. Authors include Kwame Alexander, Jazz Jennings and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

SYNC makes available two themed audiobook downloads every week, at no cost, to every registered listener, all summer. In 2018, 26 titles will be given away through the 13-week-long season. During the summer of 2017, the SYNC program gave away nearly 178,000 downloads to almost 28,000 participants.

 

I’ve been listening to the SYNC audiobooks for teens for many years and I love their selection!
