Yes, the SYNC program is back for summer 2012, providing two great audiobooks for you to download - free! - each week (Thursday-Wednesday).
One is a recent YA title, the other is a classic, both in full-audio recording by outstanding readers. Each title is downloaded separately and is available only during that week's download window.
The SYNC audiobooks use Overdrive (free download through the Audiobooksync page here) which many US public libraries also use for audiobook check-out. Once you've downloaded a SYNC title, it's yours - no due dates or expiration.
Here's the rest of the summer's lineup. Click on a link to read more about the book and its reading cast, and mark your calendar to download it during its scheduled week:
