[County Library] – The County of Los Angeles Public Library and the members of the Old Colony Library Network, in partnership with RBdigital from Recorded Books, the world’s largest independent producer of audio books, are pleased to announce the availability of Zinio for Libraries, a new edition of the popular digital newsstand that has been designed specifically for library users.

Zinio provides a quick and easy way for users to read digital copies of their favorite magazines with their valid OCLN library card (*available to everyone in the Santa Clarita Valley).

“We’re excited to offer this innovative, convenient service,” stated County Librarian Margaret Donnellan Todd.   “Zinio is the latest addition to our growing collection of digital services.  With this new service, you can access hundreds of complete digital magazines that can be easily viewed on any internet-enabled device inside or outside the library,” notes Todd.

A library card is the key to entering the online book catalog at the County Library website. Next you will need to create your own password-protected Zinio account and download the Zinio application. The Zinio application works on Apple and Android devices as well as PC and Mac. Once you have created your Zinio account, there will be an opportunity to download the Zinio application that is needed to begin enjoying complete digital issues of popular magazines.

Zinio offers a wide range of magazines that includes areas such as sports, entertainment, travel, and business.  Zinio is compatible with iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, and Android.
