-
SYNC  is a free summer audiobook program for teens 13+. This year it runs April 30th and continues weekly until July 29.

SYNC offers participants two thematically paired audiobooks per week. Titles are delivered through Sora, the easy-to-use student reading app from OverDrive. This means participants should download the Sora app before attempting to download and listen to these books.

One important thing to note is that each SYNC audiobook will be available to borrow /download for a period of 7 days only. To be in-the-know, sign-up to get notifications each week of newly available titles. Here's a preview of titles and release dates.

One other great thing about this program - titles, once loaded into the app, are 'for keeps' for participants. We love that, right?
