Awesome FREE Audiobooks!!!
Every week from May through August, SYNC (a Young Adult program of AudioFile) gives away - for FREE - two complete professionally recorded audiobook downloads for teens. Each pair of audiobooks can be downloaded through the Sora digital app, and only for a 7-day period, but can be listened to at any time and as often as you wish. A new pair of free audiobooks is released each Thursday.
You have to register with SYNC to participate in the program. To register and see the season's schedule, go to AudioFileMagazine.com/sync. After you register, each Thursday you'll get an email notification of the audiobook pair available until the next Wednesday.
Note - You can use the Sora app for SYNC downloads, or to use Sora for K-12 loans from your public library, even if you don't know or don't have a Paideia Library account.
