Read ESPN Sports, National Geographic, Us Weekly Free with Library Card

Read tons of popular magazines for free on your mobile device or computer courtesy of Brookfield Library.

Brookfield Library is pleased to announce a new digital magazine service called Zinio that gives library card holders access to over 25 popular magazines for free.  

The service provides free online access to the magazines listed below. All you need is a device that connects to the Internet (iPad, Kindle, Nook, smartphone or computer) and a library card.

Go to the library's website and click on the Zinio image. You'll be asked to register twice, but it's a quick process, and you'll be ready to read. Simple instructions are available there, too.

Within the next few weeks, the library will have another dozen or more titles to choose from, thanks to a contribution from The Friends of The Brookfield Library.

If you don't have a library card, you can go to the library or apply online at the library's website.
