Libby Welcomes One-Click Magazines

Magazine fans, rejoice! It's never been easier to uncover new magazines on Libby!

​When you discover a magazine in our Libby collection, you can now open it and start reading with one tap! Magazines also appear on a new dedicated section of a user's Shelf called the Magazine Rack. From the Magazine Rack, you can access the latest issue of your magazine subscriptions and any other issues you choose to keep. This helps you find your favorite magazines from your library in one convenient place.

To save space on a user’s device, magazines are not automatically downloaded for offline use. Instead, users can manually choose which issues to download.

Other updates include:

• Improved discovery: From your Magazine Rack, you can navigate to the Newsstand, a new view of a user’s recently opened issues and other popular magazine titles.
• Easier subscriptions: Users can subscribe to magazines via a new, convenient Subscribe button that appears in search results, on magazine details screens, and in the Newsstand. When a new issue is released:
  • The issue is automatically added to the user’s Magazine Rack.
  • The user will receive a notification based on their Libby notification preferences (in-app, push, or email).
