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.

    Another splendid tale. Have you a single tome of collected works? I wish to purchase your writings in a book and donate it to the library.

    Would you and the misogynist please get a room somewhere? Anywhere. Just so long as it's not here. Thanks ever so much!
