  • Access to Freegal Music will end on Monday 30 June 2025
  • You can still stream music for free with hoopla
  • Help is available at your local library or online

From Tuesday 1 July 2025, Maitland libraries will no longer offer Freegal Music. The last day to access Freegal is Monday 30 June 2025.

This change reflects how our customers access music and digital content, and allows us to focus on more flexible services.

Your library membership still gives you free music streaming through hoopla. You can stream music for 7 days per album, along with access to movies, TV shows, eBooks, audiobooks and more.

You can use hoopla through the Maitland libraries app, the Hoopla app, or through the desktop site.

Need a hand? Drop by your local library with your device or contact us.

If you have been a Freegal customer, you can visit the Freegal FAQ before 30 June, to learn about options for your Freegal music downloads.
