Have a magazine that you love and never want to miss? Now in Libby you can subscribe to your favorite magazines, so you never miss an issue! When you Subscribe to a magazine, the latest issue of the magazine is added to the Magazine Rack on your shelf, and you’ll be notified when a new issue of that magazine is released. When you tap Subscribe, you’ll be prompted to select or create a Notify Me smart tag. To keep things organized, you may want to have a dedicated Notify Me smart tag for your magazine subscriptions. This makes it easy to find a magazine subscription if you ever want to unsubscribe.

Check out your Magazine Rack in Libby by going to your Shelf. There you can quickly access all the magazines you are subscribed to! This feature will only appear once you have subscribed to your first magazine in Libby using the Notify Me smart tag mentioned above.

Looking for your next magazine to flip through? Check out the Newsstand in Libby to discover magazines we think you’ll enjoy! To access the Newsstand, go to your Shelf and look for the blank cover image on the Magazine Rack. Tap the blank cover image to see all the magazines we offer, plus filters and search options to find exactly what you're looking for.
