Freegal
How it works
Your library card gives you free access to the Freegal app, which allows you to download or stream MP3s to your phone, tablet, PC or MP3 player.
Get started
All you need is your library card number. Apply for a library card now — we can get a number to you within a few working days.
Please be advised that the temporary WEB library card number issued to you when you first apply online will not work with eLibrary services — you must have a permanent library card number to start using Freegal. This will be emailed to you once we have processed your application.
You can start using Freegal through:
- Downloading the free Freegal app from the iOS App Store
- Downloading the free Freegal app from the Google Play store
- Visiting the Freegal website
The quickest way is to install the app. Search for “Freegal” in the iOS or Google Play app stores and follow the instructions.
