Another update on digital magazines

The notice below went out this morning to patrons who have checked out a digital magazine from us in the past three months:

You’re receiving this email because sometime in the past three months you’ve checked out a digital magazine from the Library using RBDigital.

This is the time of year that we renew our digital magazines. Just prior to our renewal, we received notice that the State Library of Iowa chose to begin offering digital magazines via Bridges—the statewide consortium where libraries offer patrons e-books and e-audiobooks.

To avoid duplication of digital magazine subscriptions, we’ve decided to renew only those RBDigital magazines that are not available via Bridges.

Magazines can be found via Bridges at https://bridges.overdrive.com/bridges-johnston/content/collection/217420 as well as on the Overdrive app or the Libby app—both available wherever you get apps for your device.

The RBDigital magazines will continue to be available at https://www.rbdigital.com/johnstonia/service/magazines/landing  and via the RBDigital app.

In addition to these changes, RBDigital will no longer offer magazine titles published by Meredith. I’ve included a list of these titles below.

Please let me know if you have any questions of if you need help getting started with Bridges magazines.
