eMagazine Tips

  • Get push or email notifications when new issues of your favourite magazines are available. Notify Me tags for magazines are one of several improvements to the most recent version of OverDrive’s Libby app.
  • Digital magazines look best when viewed on a larger screen like a tablet, compatible eReader, or computer monitor. This is because magazine layouts aren't traditionally single columns, like books.
