Do you spend a lot of time in your car or doing the occasional menial job? I use that time, driving to see my parents or cleaning the house, to listen to audio books on my phone or iPod. Sync is offering free audio books, downloadable through the Overdrive app, to encourage teens to become audio book listeners.
This summer they will be giving away access to over thirty titles, two per week, through August 17th. Usually, when you are offered something free, there are strings attached or the quality of the "free item" isn't what you want. The titles being offered through the Sync program are excellent and wide ranging. Many of the titles are from best books lists. There are a couple classics, some nonfiction, fantasy and a multitude of other genres.
Time gets away from us in the summer, so Sync has set up a system to notify students by text or email when new titles are available. Download all the titles as they become available and listen later when you have time. Students can start downloading titles May 5th.
