Lake County Library System has added new magazines for patrons to download free with a library card! Zinio is now easier to use with a more streamlined service to access over 51 publications. New titles include: Allrecipes, American Patchwork & Quilting, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Fun, HGTV Magazine, National Geographic Traveler Interactive, Natural Health, OK! Magazine, Parents, PC Gamer, Runner’s World, Seventeen, TVGuide, Vanidades USA, WIRED, and Writer's Digest.

The recent Zinio update allows patrons to search, checkout, and read your magazines all in one place. Crowded shelves and piles of magazines are history, the new home library is sleeker and more brilliant than ever. Enjoy your favorite magazines on your computer and sync your library easily to your smartphone or tablet devices too.

For instructions on how to use Zinio, head to the Lake County Library website at http://www.mylakelibrary.org/virtual_library/zinio.aspx or ask a librarian at your library.

For your convenience, issues of discontinued titles offered in the last year will remain available for checkout and download.

The database is free for all library card holders and library cards are free to all Lake County residents and reciprocal borrowers. Library staff are ready to assist patrons on how to access this service. For additional information call 352-253-6167 or your local library.
