Did you know? Rolling Stone just crowned legendary folk-rocker Bob Dylan as the greatest songwriter of all time. He landed the #1 spot in their list of the 100 greatest. The magazine wrote that "no one set the bar higher, or had greater impact." Mr. Dylan's music is available on the Freegal site. Other songwriters in the top 10 of the Rolling Stone list that have music you can listen to with your library card include Paul Simon, Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder and Carole King.

Free Streaming Music & Downloads at the Library?

Question. Why are you still paying to stream and download music?

Here's the skinny. Freegal is a free music service at the library. And all you need is your library card number and a PIN. Yeah, you heard that right.

And get this, Freegal offers access to about 9 million songs that includes Sony Music's catalog of legendary artists. In fact, the collection has music from over 28,000 labels with music from over 100 countries. Now that's the ticket!

Oh, did I forget to mention music videos? Yeah, it has those, too.

But there's a catch. You can only get this service if you're a member of the library. Again, membership has it's privileges.

Oh...and you might want to tell your neighbors.
