<br />Download Music at Eugene Public Library Website – Free and Legal <br />Great news for music-lovers: Eugene Public Library’s music download service, Freegal, has expanded to include literally <br />millions of songs. <br /> <br />Freegal (“free and legal”) is similar to iTunes, except the songs are free of charge with a <br />Eugene Public Library card. Freegal offers millions of songs including current hits, classics, <br />and every type of music from Ke$ha to Springsteen, Brubeck to Beethoven. New songs are <br />added daily. <br /> <br />Library cardholders can visit the Eugene Public Library website to download music from <br />Freegal all day, every day. Each cardholder can download three songs per week. Once the <br />MP3s are downloaded, they can be kept forever. The songs never need to be returned and they never expire. <br /> <br />For more information, contact the Eugene Public Library at 541-682-5450 or www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br />Amazon Pool Opens to Lap Swimmers <br />Easily Eugene’s most popular summer spot – Amazon Pool – opened on May 20 to the rhythmic sound of lap swimmers <br />stroking their way across the water. It will be quite different a few weeks from now when Amazon opens for recreational <br />swims and more than a thousand youngsters and their parents come to <br />splash, slide, jump and dive into the refreshing water. <br /> <br />Of course, Eugene’s other two pools are also very popular during the <br />summer months, and offer the same variety of recreation swims, lap <br />swimming, water fitness, and swim lessons all year long. But Amazon, with <br />its water slide, two pools, kids’ zero-depth spray-play feature and sand <br />play area, a five-meter diving platform, three-meter diving board, and two <br />one-meter diving boards, has it all. <br /> <br />An oasis during the hot summer months, Amazon regularly generates <br />more than 200,000 visits during its short, May-November season. Once the <br />weather is warm enough and the pool opens for recreational swims on <br />June 21, the Amazon website will quickly outpace even the City Library in the number of browser searches on the City’s <br />website by eager fans looking for the schedule for recreation swims, swim lessons, water fitness classes, lap swim times <br />and more. <br /> <br />In the meantime, hearty lap swimmers, water polo players and life guards learning the ropes, have the pool all to <br />themselves.
