One of my mottos is NEVER PAY FULL PRICE. Imagine my surprise today when I realized my library participates with Zinio, "the world's largest newsstand"! This means that the library has purchased rights to a specific number of digital magazines - the library system around our metro area has 50 magazines - available for free - to read on your computer or iPad. Slick. You can purchase magazine subscriptions through Zinio, but if your library participates, you can get them for free through the library's website. Maybe YOUR library participates too :)
I've been meaning to look into a Piecework Magazine subscription, especially after seeing a blog post about the current issue having an article called "Discover a Master Tatter". I was pretty sure the library wouldn't have that particular magazine included in their 50, but guess what? It's there! I came home from work happily chattering about this great new thing that the library has, and hubby informed me that yes, it's been in the news the past couple of weeks. Hhhmpph. I never saw that.
Lucky you! Our library is way too small to offer such a service, so I have a subscription to the magazine. Maybe I need to move to a bigger town! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOr get a library card for a metro area? :)
DeleteWell, I didn't know it either! A project for the summer, I think!
ReplyDeleteAnd I saw my first, in the feathers, bluebird last week- gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous birdie!!!
Hooray for bluebirds! Mine have returned and have set up housekeeping in at least 2 of 4 houses - maybe 3. They are a joy to watch
DeleteNot heard of this magazine and I doubt if any British library would have it, what a shame I would love to read that article

It's such a good magazine! Maybe it will be available to you soon at least digitally!
DeleteThanks, first of all, for reminding me this issue is now out, and also for the zinio info! I just googled our library name and zinio, and sure enough they have had zinio available since January! I'll be looking into it! And it's in a small town!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you can use Zinio where you are. What a great service!
