The Monmouth County Library is now offering downloadable magazines through two new offerings:Flipster and Zinio for Libraries. Flipster gives you access to selected magazines from home (if you have a valid library card) or from the library.  There are magazines for children, teens and adults.  Magazines include lifestyle magazines such as Elle, Vegetarian Times, Country Living and O, the Oprah Magazine. Teens can read Girls' Life and Seventeen and children can see the latest from Ranger Rick, Discovery Girls and Odyssey, a science-oriented magazine. Looking for a new recipe?  You can find the exciting new recipes and food tips from the Food Network, Food and Wine, Clean Eating and Cooking Light. 

Magazines can be downloaded to an iPad, iPad Mini and Android tablet.  You can find out what is available and download them here.  And, if you want more information about how to get started with Flipster, check out the video.  You can also find Flipster under our Research tab at the top of the page.
