MANSFIELD — The Mansfield/Richland County Public Library (MRCPL) has joined thousands of Public Libraries around the world by subscribing to The Freegal Music Service from Library Ideas, LLC.

Registered MRCPL cardholders can stream up to three hours of content per day and download three MP3-formatted tracks each month at no direct cost via www.mrcpl.org. The Freegal downloads can be transferred or saved to other devices and they will never expire.

The Freegal Music service allows patrons to access a collection spanning over 15 million songs, music videos, and audiobooks from more than 40,000 music labels worldwide including Sony Music, Epic, RCA, and Columbia.

Freegal Music also offers a completely rebuilt mobile app and website which utilizes modern application practices to ensure an easy-to-use and enjoyable experience. The free application is available for library cardholders and can be downloaded in the Apple® App Store and Google® Play store.

Chris May, MRCPL Director says, “Freegal is a wonderful streaming music service that allows you to create playlists. The discovery options allow you to find new artists as well as reconnect with a long-forgotten artist. The Library is excited to offer this new option to our customers and we hope it provides hours of enjoyment!”

Richland County residents can complete an application for a library card or register for

an eCard on the Library’s website now to begin using Freegal.
