Berks County Public Libraries is pleased to announce its new e-magazine platform, Zinio, the world’s largest newsstand, offering multi-user access to over 50 popular magazines.

Through a link on each library’s website, or on the County library’s System homepage, library cardholders have unlimited multi-user access to complete digital magazines which can easily be viewed on most Internet-enabled devices inside the library or remotely through an e-reader, tablet, Smart phone or pc.  Zinio’s unique technology digitally recreates a magazine page for page, including full color pictures, intuitive navigation, key work search and interactive elements such as audio and video.

“Car and Driver”, “Organic Gardening, “ “ESPN, The Magazine”, “Runners World”, “Forbes”, “Newsweek,” and “Rolling Stone” are just a few of the titles available.  A full list can be seen at our website.

To access the collection and start downloading, cardholders will need to set up an initial account using their library barcode number.

This service is free to any resident of Berks County.
