Amazon May Offer Free Music
Amazon is reportedly in talks to offer a free, ad-supported tier of its music service, according to a report from Billboard. Although there aren’t details about whether it will be more radio-like or on-demand, Billboard suggests this new free service will emphasize Amazon as a direct competitor to market leader Spotify.
Amazon plans to market the new option through its Echo speakers, and Billboard says that it could be available as soon as this week. The free tier will have a limited catalog of music, and Amazon reportedly obtained the licenses by offering participating labels a deal to pay per stream. The payment rate is not tied to the amount of advertising Amazon sells.
Music is a robust portion of Amazon’s business — last year a representative told The Vergethat Amazon Music has tens of millions of active subscribers. This could be in part because of deals in other countries. US Prime members have access to a select catalog of music for free, and can separately buy a larger monthly music subscription, which ranges from $3.99 to $9.99, depending on the number of devices used and if you’re already an Amazon Prime member. In other countries, like India, Amazon offers much cheaper Prime memberships with music and video services bundled in.
Despite Amazon Music’s growth, the category is still a loss leader for the company. But, it can afford to subsidize the cost. Amazon made over $10 billion in profits last year, largely because of its cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services.

Da Vinci's Eggcellent Adventures
The highlight of the weekend is the Egg Drop Challenge. Visitors employ various engineering and design tactics to build their very own contraption to protect an egg from going splat when it's released from a 19-foot-high balcony.
“The Egg Drop Challenge has been a favorite of our guests for many years,” said Tyler Groft, Museum Education Manager for the Da Vinci Science Center. “It’s a family friendly hands-on activity that emphasizes problem solving skills and basic principles of engineering and physics. It’s great to see so many kids smile as they explore the concepts of gravity, force, and acceleration.”
Guests will also have the opportunity to see baby chicks hatch and explore the world around them and visit with bunnies from Emily’s barnyard. Emily is a 9-year-old girl with a love for animals who collaborates with 4-H to raise bunnies.
Science Center educators will guide visitors through hands-on experiments to create a Flinker, an object that neither sinks nor floats, but suspends in the middle of water. Visitors will learn about buoyancy as they attempt to make an egg suspend in the middle of a container of water.
Eggcellent Adventures programming is included with general admission and is available to visitors on Friday, April 19; Saturday, April 20; and Monday, April 22 from 10 am to 4:30 pm. The Science Center remains open until 5 p.m. each day.
Eggcellent Adventures is made possible with the generous support of Crayola.

Lunch With The Author
The Blue Mountain Community Library invites you to “LUNCH WITH AN AUTHOR” on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at Grace United Methodist Church, 404 E. Mountain Ave., Pen Argyl, PA.
The Church is handicapped accessible with ample parking. (Enter from the lower parking lot.)
Local author, Maryann McFadden will discuss her novel “The Cemetery Keeper’s Wife,” her longest and most challenging work to date. It tells the story of two brave and complicated women, one real and one fictional, and an unlikely bond that transcends more than a century as they search against all odds for love, redemption and a place to belong. McFadden moved at age 10 from Brooklyn, NY to Hackettstown, NJ and lived near Union Cemetery. She became intrigued by a monument in the Cemetery.
The name and picture on the monument was of Tillie Smith, a 19 year old woman who “Died in Defense of Her Honor.” This haunted Maryann and she felt as if she was meant to write this novel, to give Tillie a voice. McFadden will have a question and answer session about her book and a Book signing. Copies will be available to purchase.
Luncheon, catered by Cafe ’on Broadway, will be at 12:00 pm (Doors open at 11:30 am) and will consist of soup, sandwich, chips, desserts and beverages. Tickets are $10 each and MUST be purchased in advance of the event. There will be no tickets available at the door.
Tickets are limited and may be purchased at the Library, located at 216 S. Robinson Ave., Pen Argyl, PA through April 18, 2019. Hours are M-SA, 10:00 am to Noon, and M-Th, 6:00-8:00 pm. Call Lisa at 610-863-3029 for information or visit www.bmcl.org.

Bangor Library New Books
Fine Policy For Kids
The Bangor Public library is happy to announce a new policy for kids to take responsibility for their own fines. Starting now if a junior patron (ages 15 years old or under) owes fines on their card only they may read their fines away. The junior patron will be required to read at the library in front of one of the staff members. Junior patrons will fill out a reading log; every half hour that they read will equal $1.00 off their fines. Fines can only be read off junior patron cards. The library believes that with this new policy junior patrons will learn responsibility as well as filling in the reading gap that so many kids face today. For more information please contact the library at 610-588-4136
