Title: E-magazines free from your library
Post by: jeninwa on January 19, 2013, 06:21:26 am
Don't know if this has been mentioned on here before,
I found out during the week, I have downloaded an app for my ipad called Zinio. Or you can download to your computer, iphone, or tablet. There are 97 e-mags to choose from, better homes and gardens, taste, the o mag to name a few,
You just need to login into your library's web site all the info should be there use your library card number, create an account and then start reading. I am pretty sure this is Australian wide, the good thing is they are the current issue and there is no expiry date, yours to keep for ever and free.

Usually through your local council website, there is a link for the library. You might need to get in contact with you local library to organize a  password. Not sure if you can do that online.

Thanks Jen. Perhaps my local library doesn't link with the app.

Thanks Jen. I'm a member of the Albany Library and I receive emails from them, but they haven't mentioned the e-mags.

Will check it out now.

Great thing with the emags is if you see a recipe or article you want to keep or read later you just capture in a screen shot.

I logged into my library and went to esources and it only had 7 newspaper articles. I will enquire next time I'm at the library.  :)

I have checked and I don't think my library does it for magazines. Did your local library site say e magazines Jen? Mine only says ebooks and audio books. Could be my dumb computer skills too

I would say I haven't looked in the right place either, found audio books but not ebooks.
One good thing I put in a search for history behind our street names - most are after UK towns including mine which is a males christian and surname but also a UK town. Maybe if I look up the UK town it was named after I will find out more?

I found it under e-library on the side panel, did you look at ebooks?

Awesome. Thanks so much for this. I have been busy reading up on recipes since yesterday. You can also bookmark the page in the mags for ease of finding recipes too.
I am a member of two local libraries...Ipswich and Lockyer Valley. Ipswich do it but Lockyer Valley doesn't. I just did a google search for the app name and then Ipswich library and it came up.  If others are having trouble finding out if their local library does it, I'd phone them and ask them and if not, ask them why!

Thx Jen, unfortunately ours has ebooks but not mags. Now where is my library card... And yes Brumington goos idea about expressing my interest, otherwise they may think there is no call for more.

I sent them an email yesterday. I would honestly prefer emags to ebooks.

I didn't think that BH&G was available as an e-mag?
I have the WW and WD subscribed on my iPad, but I'd love to get BH&G too. Borrowing from Library would be better still!
