Audiobooks are a great way to relax or read on the go! Listen on the train, waiting in lines, while doing chores around the house, or to help you fall asleep at night.

Every summer, Audiobook SYNC offers two free YA audiobooks each week and 2021 is up and running. Here are the upcoming titles:

Free audio books all summer long

It’s hard to concentrate lately, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on reading! SYNC is a free summer audiobook program for teens 13+. Every Thursday, starting this week and continuing until July 29th, you can sign up to receive two audiobook downloads a week.

Audiobooks, often read by the authors themselves or professional actors, are a great way to read hands free, and can often be enjoyed while doing other things like folding laundry, picking up your room, or painting your nails.

I know, you’re thinking…what kind of books? I’m pretty picky. You should be! Not all the books will be your thing, but once you register, you get to pick which ones you want to download. Here are this year’s titles:

Sponsored by AudioFile, a magazine that reviews audiobooks, the books have to be read on SORA, the student version of Overdrive (app for reading library eBooks and Audiobooks.)

What are you waiting for?! Visit audiobooksync.com to register.

Registration is as easy as entering your email address

Once registered, you’ll receive instructions for downloading and logging in to SORA. Happy listening!

This tutorial was created by librarian Esther Keller at IS 278 in Marine Park.
