The Alexandria Library moved our digital magazines from RB Digital to the Libby app. You are able to browse, borrow, and enjoy all the same great magazines from ZINIO you loved in the RBdigital app, now available in Libby from OverDrive.

Digital magazines have no wait lists or holds and provide readers the option to renew their selections after a 21-day checkout period. Alexandria Library customers can also download magazines to Libby for offline use. Readers can browse lists of magazines within the app and search by format to find available titles.
