Library and Beyond

24/7, We’ve Got You Covered! Read, Watch, and Listen for Free

Did you know you can access free books, movies, and more—anytime, anywhere—with your Red Bank Public Library card?

Libby

Libby is the library reading app and is the best way to instantly access books, audiobooks, magazines and read-along books, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! 

Libby is available to use on smartphones, tablets, and Kindle devices. When you download Libby to your device, follow the prompts to connect your Library card to the app. From there, you can immediately begin browsing for books. And, just like at the Library, Libby lets you place holds, check-out, read, and return books. Libby even lets you connect multiple Library cards to your account! 

Download Libby by visiting the App Store or Google Play Store, and search Libby. 

Hoopla Digital

While you’re downloading Libby, don’t forget to check out Hoopla Digital

Hoopla is available to our patrons with a Library card and is a one-stop service for free digital content. In other words, Hoopla is free-to-use and provides you with access to 300,000+ digital movies, TV shows, music, e-books, and more!

Like Libby, Hoopla is an app that can be used on smartphones and tablets. You can also use Hoopla on a computer by visiting www.hoopladigital.com. To access Hoopla, you will need to create an account with your email address and a new password. 

Once you start using Hoopla, you can browse and borrow e-books, audiobooks, comics, movies, television shows and movies. My Hoopla will show your borrowing history, recommendations, popular and curated collections.

Freegal Music

Finally, if you’re looking for free music, the Red Bank Public Library has you covered with Freegal Music! 

Freegal Music offers access to over 11 million songs, including Sony Music’s catalog of legendary artists. Our library subscription provides you with the opportunity to stream music for personal use, right from the comfort of your own home. 

You can access Freegal Music online, or download the app from the App Store or Google Play

LOCKER SYSTEM MAKES LIBRARY AVAILABLE 24/7

The Red Bank Public Library’s 24 Locker System allows patrons the flexibility to pick up holds any time of day or night, even when the library is closed! Find out more information here!

Funds for this project were provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant CAGML-248454-OMLS-21. The $67,048 federal grant awarded last year focuses on improving community access. This includes upgrades already made to the Library's Internet service, ensuring patrons can connect to our network without experiencing a drop in speed or connection.
