The OverDrive Training team is happy to partner
with AudioFile magazine once again to bring you all the news and information
you need to know about SYNC
Audiobooks for Teens 2018, which returns this year on April 26th.
SYNC is a free summer reading program that gives away two complete audiobook
downloads a week, with a focus on pairs of high interest titles, based on
weekly themes. It’s the perfect program to encourage teens to participate in so
they don’t end up wandering into that most dreaded of all places to be while
they’re on vacation – the Summer Slide…
Join us on Wednesday, April 4th to
learn more about the program, including how and why titles are chosen and
paired together, how it works in conjunction with the OverDrive app, why
audiobooks play an important part in teen readings habits, and what you can do
to promote SYNC at your school or library. The webcasts will be co-hosted by
audiobook experts, Michele Cobb, SYNC Program Manager, and Francisca Goldsmith,
Sound Learning Librarian.
We’ll deliver two webcast sessions at 11:00AM and
2:00PM EDT, and registration for both is available at OverDrive’s Resource
Center on the library and K-12 Live
Webcasts tabs.
Happy
listening!
