Grounded for Life: Blogging @ Audiobook Community

Posted on 01/24/2012 by Kirsten Cappy, Curious City

As a continuation of my management of the SYNC YA Audio Into Your Earphones teen audio literacy program and because of my personal insatiable gobbling of digital audiobooks, Audiobook Community has me blogging YA Audio.

Today, I do the first in a series of audiobook surveys of the vast frontier of awards from the grand ALA Youth Media Awards. Read “Grounded for Life” here.
