Many libraries have adopted Zinio; customers in any part of Wales have access to over 250 titles wherever they live in an excellent example of joined-up working.
Some also have Press Display which shows over 5000 worldwide newspapers and magazines, including many national and local UK papers.
However a commercial service called Readly has just started, offering access to many of the same titles for £7.99 a month, and also doing TV advertising. People are missing out on what libraries are providing for free!
