The Audiobook SYNC program is now live!

The Audiobook SYNC program is now live!



Capture


Audiobook SYNC,
the yearly summer reading program designed to help teens avoid the
summer slide, is now live. Each week from now until August 17th, SYNC
will give away two paired audiobook titles that readers can download for
free. These titles are yours to keep and are perfect for teen readers
and adults alike. Each Thursday morning http://audiobooksync.com/
will be updated with the week’s current titles so be sure to bookmark
the website. You can also sign-up to get notifications of when the FREE
audiobook downloads are available*. You can receive alerts by text
message, email newsletter, at their website.
synchead-150x150*Please
Note: Signing up for these alerts will not send you the titles. The
alerts will simply tell you when and where the title is available to
download.



To promote the launch of the SYNC program this week’s Professional
Book Nerds Podcast is all about audiobooks as well. You can subscribe to
our podcast on iTunes, on Android devices, or you can listen to it directly in your browser.


SYNC is dedicated to introducing the listening experience to the teen
audience and demonstrates that Required Reading can be completed by
listening. The program is sponsored by AudioFile Magazine and titles are
delivered through the OverDrive app. Download the app in advance to
whichever device you anticipate listening on and be ready to go!

Summer Reading Info

So Summer Reading is ramping up, and here's what you need to know:

Registration has begun for Children and Teens, but for Adults, the process of logging hours here on the website will register them for prizes, and this isn't available until the official start date of June 10th. Should any adults be unable to log their hours themselves, please give them the contact info for any of the Adult Summer Reading Team (Abby ext# 8248, Gretchen #8232, or Marian #7732) and we will log their hours for them.

The Summer Reading Program runs from June 10th, with events for all ages, and ends August 8th.
