New Service for Music Lovers! |
Now you can download music from the Rock Island Library - and what's more, you can keep it.
Registered cardholders of the Rock Island Public Library with accounts in good standing can download three Freegal Music tracks in the MP3 format each month via the library website. Downloaded tunes become part of your personal music library - they do not disappear or need to be returned after a set period. Sorry, this service is not available to patrons of non-subscribing libraries.
