Free Audiobook Downloads

From the Yalsa Listserv:

Please forgive the cross postings - here's some good news! Each week, from today until September 1st, you can download two totally FREE audiobooks through SYNC http://www.audiobooksync.com/! Anyone may participate, there's no required sign-up or personal info or credit card needed, the titles are in MP3 format compatible with ANY digital player or computer, and the choices are top titles from the best audiobook producers - how much better could it get?!? There's even great printable materials so that you can promote your own library or school audiobook collection! Feel free to add links to your library website, email to your library discussion groups and friends, post on Twitter & Facebook, and build displays & listen-alike lists to entice new listeners to take advantage of your library's audiobook collection. And as the downloads are handled through OverDrive, it's a terrific way to introduce new users to your library's digital resources. There's even an entire social community where SNYC participants may interact with authors, narrators, and audiobook producers! SYNC has been developed to promote audiobook listening to teens ages 13 and up through the unbranded open forum Audiobook Community http://www.audiobookcommunity.com/. But it's not just for teens! Each week, two new titles will be available for download - one a current teen favorite, one a classic with a similar theme. What a great way to experience classics on your summer reading list, discover great YA literature, or download perfect family listening for a wide spectrum of ages. Check out the entire list of titles at the bottom of my email. It's summertime and the listenin' is easy - and FREE - with SYNC!







Happy listening!
