\"Sync<\/a>If you like audiobooks, check out the free young adult audiobook downloads from Sync YA Audiobooks. It’s 24 books\u2013two each week starting on May 30.<\/p>\n

I’ve downloaded these books the past two summers, and they are excellent books each year. It’s a great way to build your audiobook library. Each week, they post one recent title, and one classic text that explores similar themes. For example, the first week, they are pairing Of Poseidon<\/em> by Anna Banks, read by Rebecca Gibel (AudioGO) with The Tempest<\/em> by William Shakespeare, read by a Full Cast (AudioGO). So even if you aren’t working with teens (or don’t have teens at home), you may find the classics each week worth downloading.<\/p>\n

Get more info on their website<\/a> and check out the Tool Kit<\/a> for posters, bookmarks, and other graphics that you can download to spread the word about the books.<\/p>\n
