Looking for a great way to promote your library’s collection of YA audiobooks? Plan to promote FREE downloads of popular YA titles & classic audiobooks through Sync, an initiative of the newly-formed Audiobook Community<\/a>. Sync will offer two free audiobook downloads a week all summer, from July 1st<\/sup> to September 1st, allowing you to create listen-alike lists to entice teens to try more great audiobooks once they’re hooked on literature-on-the-go. Public and school librarians will be able to download promotional materials & bookmarks from the Sync website, with plenty of space to add your logo & listen-alike lists on the printables. The Sync website will be live within a week, with the complete list of titles & Tool Kit. Perfect timing for adding terrific freebies to your summer reading materials \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

You’ll get notification of Sync’s kick-off when you become a member of the Audiobook Community http:\/\/www.audiobookcommunity.com\/<\/a>, a free, open, uncensored, unbranded social network for all audiobook listeners to discover audiobooks and connect with other fans as well as publishers, authors, and narrators. Just join the Sync: YA Listening<\/a> group and get updates about the free downloads, as well as tips from other audiobook fans. Here’s a great response to a group member’s question, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How are you using audiobooks in your summer reading program?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ‘\u00a0Melissa replied, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153At the beginning of summer, I also create a display of audiobooks based on listening length versus driving length. So one section of the display is “If you are going to Boston or Bar Harbor this summer, here are titles for the round-trip” with audios that are in the 4 – 6 hour range. “If you are going to New York City”, we display audios with an 8 – 10 hour range, and so forth. This display has been a big hit with parents in the past.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d What a great idea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
