Free Audiobooks April 29 – August 4, 2021!

/in /by
Gather round, audiobook enthusiasts – it’s that time of year again! SYNC Audiobooks, sponsored by AudioFile Magazine and powered by OverDrive’s Sora student reading app, returns Thursday, April 29. 

Although the program is targeted for teens aged 13 and older, anyone may download the free audiobooks! Once downloaded, the titles are kept indefinitely. Now in its 12th year of providing free audiobooks, SYNC is a great solution for educators of young adults seeking new resources to help their students press pause on the summer reading slide while they’re at home.

Each week, SYNC provides two thematically paired audiobooks, at no cost, to every registered listener, for 14 weeks – giving users access to a grand total of 28 free audiobooks throughout the course of the program! For a full list of titles for 2021, click here.
