AudioFile created the SYNC program as an enhancement for teen learning experiences, including and reaching beyond literacy support. Each year the SYNC season’s list of titles, and how they will be paired for each weekly giveaway, is published months ahead so that families, teachers, librarians, and others can identify how specific audiobooks, or specific pairs of audiobooks, can benefit program planning from April into next autumn.

In 2023, SYNC, our seasonal event of free audiobooks for teens, will return in April for the 14th year in a row. Thanks to this year’s generous support by publishers, there will be 14 weeks of thematically paired audiobooks. Call this the year of the lucky 14!
