Lake County Public Library is pleased to offer a wide variety of magazines in digital format so that you can read them in your browser or on your phone, tablet, or e-reader.
Overdrive/Libby and Flipster both have different collections. If you can't find something you'd like to read on one, check the other! Go ahead and explore - it's all free with your library card.
Note: If you used Overdrive previously, your reading history will be incomplete with the new switch to Libby. You can export your reading history from the old Overdrive site. (Click Actions, then Email history).
