Audiobooks!\u00a0 All summer!\u00a0\u00a0 FREE!<\/p>\n

Yes, the SYNC program is back for summer 2012, providing two great audiobooks for you to download – free! – each week (Thursday-Wednesday). <\/p>\n

One is a recent YA title, the other is a classic, both in full-audio recording by outstanding readers.\u00a0Each title is downloaded separately and is available only during that week’s download window.<\/p>\n

The SYNC audiobooks use Overdrive (free download through the Audiobooksync page here<\/a>) which many US public libraries also use for audiobook check-out. Once you’ve downloaded a SYNC title, it’s yours – no due dates or expiration.<\/p>\n
