My library no longer uses libby but borrowbox instead. No jazz magazines but plenty of others including, I’ve just discovered, Fortean Times which I subscribe to on the iPad. I think I’ll check it’s still available when my subscription expires as the new mag isn’t available on iPad yet 😡

I just checked and Fortean Times is in Libby so will check that out. I enjoy being able to dip in and out of different magazines. I was surprised how few of my friends knew these services were available…. Including audiobooks. I think with libraries if we don't use them they're likely to be cut.

I think you’re right about libraries, but I find when it comes to books they never have what I want. I would use them more if they did

Good point. You can request books they haven't got at my local one. Sometimes they'll buy it.

To be honest, the big problem is I can’t get to the library as that requires leaving the house. The ebook side should be great but their selection is limited there too. Shame because the only thing I can do that doesn’t cause me too much pain is read, so I read a lot
