SYNC Audio 2021

What is SYNC?

• Spoiler:

  SYNC is a free summer audiobook program for teens 13+.
  
  Returning Spring 2021, SYNC gives participants two thematically paired audiobooks each week. In 2020, 26 titles were given away over 13 weeks. Titles change every Thursday at midnight Eastern Time during the season.

  Access Details
  
  

  • Titles are accessible in Sora, the student reading app from OverDrive, and are Mac and Windows compatible.
    
  • Most listening devices are supported.
    
  • Each SYNC audiobook will be available to borrow into your SYNC library for a period of 7 days (only).
    
  • Titles, once loaded into the app, are yours indefinitely.

Setting Up Sora
