Important update for magazine readers
Our digital magazine service is moving to a new platform: PressReader.
This means our collection on Libby is relocating. From now on, PressReader is the place to go to find magazines like The Economist, Hello, The Radio Times, and thousands more.
And it’s still the place to read national and international newspapers including the Guardian, the Daily Mail, and the Daily Telegraph.
What’s changing
+ Magazines on PressReader
Our digital magazine service is now available exclusively on PressReader. There are no magazines on Libby anymore.
What’s staying the same
+ Huge range of quality titles
There are nearly 2,000 magazines available in English, including Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Total Film, and BBC Good Food, plus many more in other languages. Find the full list HERE
+ Magazines and newspapers all in one place
PressReader is the home of magazines AND newspapers. Read thousands of national and international publications, including some whose print editions are no longer available in Guernsey like the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph.
