The Anderson County Library System recently announced that more than 3,000 popular magazines are now available to download and read on any device 24/7. Users with a library card can read digital magazines alongside eBooks and audiobooks on Libby, the award-winning reading app from OverDrive, or by visiting https://andersonlibrary.overdrive.com/. Top titles include Good Housekeeping, Family Handyman, Country Living and many other popular magazines, all supplied by ZINIO.
“We’re happy to be able to offer Anderson County Library cardholders so many fascinating digital magazines, from popular favorites like HGTV Magazine and Us Weekly, to niche and hobby titles, to magazines for children and teens,” said Heather Bistyga, head of adult services. “I’m especially excited that OverDrive offers magazines from around the world and in over 20 languages, which opens up many new foreign-language materials to our patrons.”
Digital magazines have no wait lists or holds, do not count towards checkout limits and provide readers the option to renew their selections. Anderson County Library patrons can also download magazines to Libby for offline use. Readers can browse lists of magazines within the app and search by format to find available titles.
