Hello Everyone, this was posted on another group I am on. I
figured I'd pass it along here. It sounds like a great program.
The downloads should be in mp3 so you could even listen to them
on your BN.
Enjoy.
Sincerely,
John
Two top titles to download every week - one classic, one YA - to
hook listeners young & not-so-young on the best in audiobooks.
Perfect to promote in school & public libraries and classroom
summer reading lists. A feature to include in displays kicking
off June is Audiobook Month. Fantastic vacation family
listening. And a simple way to keep kids involved with great
books over the summer break. What a terrific collaboration of
the Audiobook Community! Here's the scoop straight from the Sync
website:
SYNC is an online community that seeks to build the audience for
audiobooks among readers 13 and up.
Each week, SYNC will give away 2 FREE downloads--a popular Young
Adult title paired with a Classic title that appears on Summer
Reading lists--starting July 1 through September 1, 2010.
SYNC is hosted by Audiobook Community, a new social networking
site for the discovery of audiobooks.
Listeners can choose to join a conversation about these titles
with authors, narrators, publishers, librarians, and other
listeners. (Listeners are not required to join Audiobook
Community to follow the conversation on SYNC nor to download FREE
titles from SYNC.)
How can Schools, Libraries, & Bloggers Participate?
Tell your patrons, students, and readers about this
opportunity.
Use any of the SYNC tools to lead readers / listeners to the
FREE downloads of great YA and Classic audiobook titles.
Become a member of Audiobook Community and join the SYNC group
within the community.
We encourage educators, librarians, and others to create
profiles for their institutions and reading initiatives.
Be part of discussions about titles, narration, and
listen-alikes.
There's an entire toolkit with customizable printable posters,
bookmarks & flyers, promo newsletter / website copy, logo, Sync
image and website banner. Include info on your school or public
library website, on summer reading lists, or classroom
newsletters. Or just enjoy the fantastic resources for your
personal listening pleasure. ;-)
