[CASL-L] Audio Sync Summer Program

[Cathy Andronik]

 Lizanne,
Sync would be excellent for summer reading, especially with the uncertainty this year about when and to what extent libraries will be open. So many school librarians have been posting on CASL, looking for multiple copies of books for all-class or all-grade reading.  Since Sync has no limits on how many people download the audiobooks, an entire class, grade, or even school could be listening to the same title.

I have loved promoting Sync every year, but this year the books get downloaded to Sora not OverDrive. To get the app, you have to choose your school. My district is balking at signing up for Sora. Would any of you have some new ideas for me as I try to persuade my district that Sora is a good thing?
 
Thanks!
