Announcing a new listening option for eAudiobooks: OverDrive Listen

A new format for listening to eAudiobooks went live today (May 19th) on ECRL's Digital Library.  Similar to OverDrive Read for eBooks, OverDrive Listen offers the same streaming experience. There are no downloads or software required; all you need is a compatible web browser and internet connection. 

OverDrive Listen Highlights

• OverDrive Listen eAudiobooks play right in your web browser. No software or downloads are required.
• OverDrive Listen has features like notes, bookmarks, and variable playback speed that let you customize your listening experience.
• Your listening progress, notes, and bookmarks are stored in the cloud, so you can always pick up where you left off no matter what device you're using.
• You can return OverDrive Listen eAudiobooks early (before the end of the lending period) right from your library Bookshelf, as long as you haven't also downloaded the MP3 version of the eAudiobook.
• Learn more about getting started with OverDrive Listen, including what devices and browsers work best with it.
  

Happy listening!

SYNC: Young Adult Lit For Your Earbuds

SYNC eAudiobooks are back in 2015! The new season starts today, May 7th. 

SYNC is a program that gives away two complete eAudiobook downloads— a current Young Adult title paired thematically with a Classic or "Required Summer Reading" title — for FREE each week to listeners ages 13+ throughout the summer.

The SYNC program is designed to encourage literacy and listening to young people across the country, demonstrating that Required Reading can be completed via audiobooks.  But SYNC is not just for teens!  People of all ages enjoy listening to young adult and classic literature!

28 titles will be given away over 14 weeks starting today!  The season kicks off with a great pair: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Rebecca by Daphne Du Marier.  Download them now!

Each SYNC eAudiobook will be available for download for a period of 7 days (only).  Once downloaded, the SYNC eAudiobook files are yours to keep!

Titles are delivered through the OverDrive app, the same app you may already use to access ECRL's Digital Library eBooks & eAudiobooks. If not, you can get started with the program by downloading the software to whichever device you anticipate listening on. Downloads are in MP3 format, hosted by OverDrive, and are Mac and Windows compatible.

Don't miss out!  Sign up for email or text alerts to be reminded each week when new titles are available for download at www.audiobooksync.com.  Got hooked on listening?  Don't forget to check out more eAudiobooks offered by ECRL in our Digital Library as well!
