Summer Jams

Did you know that you can get music 100% free and yours to keep with Freegal? You just need a library card! You can download 3 songs a week so here is a three song mini mix!

Summer for me is all about pop music blaring through open windows. Here are some summer jams to make you forget that school is just around the corner

1. The Ataris - Boys of Summer (okay, obvious but still awesome)
2. One Direction - Up All Night (so much fun)
2. Florence & The Machine - Dog Days Are Over (her new album is amazing but not available on Freegal. Try this tune instead).

all are available for free with Freegal!

Now tell me your three summer jams that I can download for free with Freegal!

(also, just a reminder - if you download a song on freegal, you can pop a tab on your summer reading badge and get a prize)

Freegal

One of the tabs on your badge is to download a book or music.

Freegal, our free music provider now has an app!

As our main page says:
Freegal has launched new mobile apps available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for Android. Freegal™ Music is a free and legal way to access MP3 music from your local library. The Freegal™ Mobile Application is a completely free and legal way to access a collection of almost 3 million MP3 songs via the Hamilton Public Library. The Freegal offering includes many of today’s top artists, a fantastic retrospective collection, and music from around the world.

Cool, right? If you have One Direction stuck in your head (why does that always happen to me?!) you can download Tell Me A Lie for free from Freegal! Hurrah!

What are your summer jams this summer?
