Download audiobooks for free and listen to a good book over the summer. Each week starting May 5th, two free audiobooks will become available online for you to download.  Once you download the books they are yours to keep for forever. 

To begin, go to the Sync page register and you will either get a text or email each Thursday to remind you that you have 2 free books to download.  Each week's titles will be available to download for 7 days and then they will change the pair to two new titles. Anyone over 13 can download books - students, teachers or parents.
