[Libs-Or] audiobooks to those who need them

[Darci Hanning]

Hello,

Every year for about three months, two free audiobooks are offered per week through https://www.audiobooksync.com/ -- a great source of young adult audiobooks.

This year, it starts on April 30 and the first two titles will be Monday’s Not Coming (by Tiffany D. Jackson) and The 57 Bus (by Dashka Slater).

You can sign up for email and/or text reminders. The service does require using the Sora app (for students) from Overdrive .

Cheers!

Any recommendations on how to get the same audiobook out to several students?
