The Portland Mercury reports:

For many years, local libraries have allowed patrons to check out physical media—from vinyl LPs to eight tracks to cassettes to CDs—free of charge. Last month, Multnomah County Library launched the Library Music Project, an online platform that's continuing this legacy of accessibility by curating an online collection of albums from local artists [...]

Anyone can stream albums from more than 120 local artists on the Library Music Project's user-friendly website, but to make playlists or download songs, you must log in with a Multnomah County Library card. [...]

It's not totally uncharted territory—libraries in Madison, Wisconsin; Edmonton, Alberta; Nashville, Tennessee; and Seattle, Washington, all have similar programs in place.

    Might I suggest: headphones... in one of the private study rooms.

    Or, if this is like our library's books on tape streaming service, you can just stream to wherever in the world you happen to be, as long as you log in with your library card.
