Library Closed - Read magazines online

All four Chandler Public Libraries will be closed for Veterans Day, Monday, November 11.

You can access current magazines through the library website, even while the library's closed, using Zinio.

Step 1: Access the Zinio Website
a) Visit chandlerlibrary.org
b) Roll the cursor over READ, then click Ebooks and Digital Media.
c) Choose Zinio.

Step 2: Choose your magazine
a) Browse or search the library’s collection of magazines.

Step 3: Log In
a) The first time you log in, choose “Create New Account.”
b) Enter your library card number under Barcode, then an email address and password.
Next time you access Zinio, use this email and password.

Step 4: Create a Personal Zinio Account
a) You must create a second account for Zinio (the first one just identified you as a library user). Use the same username and password as above.
b) Choose "Your Library." Click a magazine cover to read it.
IMPORTANT! My Library will open in a new window or tab. Keep the other window/tab open in order to return to the Chandler Library collection and browse for more magazines.
If you are being asked to pay, go to the Return to Library window or tab instead.

Optional: Download a Mobile App
If you want to read Zinio magazines on your iPad, tablet, or smartphone, download the appropriate app. Make sure you do Steps 1-4 on a computer first.
a) Go to the iTunes or Google Play store to download the Zinio app. (Kindle Fire users, see staff for assistance.)
b) To check out a new magazine from the library, you will need to use a browser on your device to go to the library's website (see Step 1).
c) Once you've checked out a magazine, you can use the Zinio app to read it.
