A digital newsstand with magazines of interest for every member of the family is now available from the Scarsdale Public Library. Zinio, which proclaims itself as the world’s largest newsstand, offers scores of digital publications that can be downloaded to most internet-enabled devices inside or outside the library. Zinio for Libraries was awarded Best New Database of 2012 by Library Journal.
Titles include: Newsweek, The New York Review of Books,, Rolling Stone, Owl (for kids), Runner’s World, House Beautiful, The Economist, Popular Science and many more covering lifestyle, public affairs, sports, hobbies and health issues.
“Over the past several years, there has been an increase in our magazine circulation,” said Elizabeth Bermel, library director. “In that time we have also significantly increased the use of technology so our patrons can quickly and easily download books, music and information. Now, having Zinio perfectly melds these two and literally puts scores of magazines at cardholders’ fingertips.”
Patrons have unlimited, simultaneous access to the complete digital magazines including full color pictures, intuitive navigation, key word article search and interactive elements such as audio and video.
To access Zinio and for a full list of publications, visit the library website at scarsdalelibrary.org.
