TRANSCRIPT
Listen Here , Listen There(A harmonious collaboration by SFPL colleagues and volunteers.)
Welcome to this jam-packed (so to speak) yet easy-going workshop. We will demonstrate a few free, and hopefully easy, ways to listen to music and other content on computers, smartphones, tablets, and other digital devices. Here is a handy handout to some of the resources we’ll share. You can always find the latest PDF of this handout (with clickable links to all of the sites) at sfpl/projectread/instructionalresources. Enjoy!

Care to access some other public library systems?Did you know that California residents can belong to many other California public libraries? Every library system is unique and offers a variety of resources to meet the needs of its community. Visit the library websites or take a field trip to see the fine work done by our colleagues throughout the Bay Area. Many are easily accessible by BART and other mass transit. Apply (in person) for a library card from that system and you will be able to borrow materials and use many of their online resources.
Please Note: Many of the following resources are commercial sites that currently offer free/advertising-based services. San Francisco Public Library has no direct relationship with them nor endorses them.
