Hello Mighty Sync Members!
Thanks for a great season of summer listening!

Sync: YA Listening was a huge success--all because of you!
Stay tuned for updates on more Sync: YA Listening.

What is SYNC?

• SYNC is a program that develops the audience of teen/YA audiobook listeners.

• Two complete digital audiobooks--a current Young Adult title paired thematically with a Classic or assigned Summer Reading title--are available FREE each week to listeners ages 13+.

• A dedicated SYNC group on audiobookcommunity.com is the hub of the delivery of the downloads, editorial content, and user engagement. The audiobook titles were selected to inspire follow-up listening.

How can Libraries, Educators, Bloggers & Press Promote Sync to Teens?
• Tell your patrons, students, and readers about this FREE YA listening program.

• Encourage teens to text syncya to 25827 to receive text alerts about all the featured titles.

• Use any of the SYNC print or web tools to lead readers / listeners to the FREE downloads of great YA and Classic audiobook titles.
