Resolution 2022-74 - Approval to Purchase Freegal Music From Library Ideas, LLC

Background

The John P. Holt Brentwood Library provides Freegal Music as a service to patrons seeking streaming and downloadable music. Music available on Freegal is accessible both from their website and Android/iPhone mobile apps, ranges from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Frank Sinatra to Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd. Playlists can also be tailored to a library program or service to augment our service to the public. Freegal Music is very popular with patrons and has been offered for several years. The number of users has increased 34% since last year.

They have not increased their prices since 2014. This year they are asking for a price increase; however, staff negotiated a three-year agreement with no increase for FY 23 and a 1% increase in FY 24 and FY 25. Therefore, the annual cost for FY23 will be $20,085; the cost for FY24 will be $20,285.85; and the cost for FY25 will be $20,488.71.
