Introducing Flipster Digital Magazines

Published: February 1, 2021

Flipster Featured

Our new Flipster Digital Magazines platform provides access to 12 best-selling digital magazines including People, Sports Illustrated, Real Simple, The Atlantic, and more.

You can check out and/or download as many issues of digital magazines as you want and read them anytime, anywhere on your phone, devices, and/or computer. Access to current and older issues of digital magazines are also available.

How Borrowing Works

  • Most weekly digital magazines expire in 2 days; most monthly digital magazines expire in 7 days.
  • Digital magazines can be checked out and downloaded again once they expire.
  • There is no limit on the number of titles you can borrow at one time, although certain titles do have limits on the number of simultaneous users allowed.

How to Get Started

You can read Flipster Digital Magazines on your phone, tablet, or computer via your web browser or by downloading the Flipster App to your mobile devices. The Flipster app is available for download from the iTunes store for the iPad and iPhone, and on the Google Play Store for Android mobile devices.

Published: August 16, 2019

Read More, Wait Less

If it's on the shelf, you can check it out!

The new Grab & Go express book collection contains bestselling adult fiction and nonfiction, ready to be checked out immediately.

New titles will be added to the Grab & Go collection on a regular basis.

Where to Find Grab & Go Books

Look for the Grab & Go express book collection on designated shelves at Central Library and the Branch Libraries. There is no Grab & Go collection at the Connection: Crystal City Pop-Up Library.

You will also find Grab & Go copies of your favorite eAudiobooks and eBook titles in our Overdrive collection.

Don't see any Grab & Go titles on the Library shelf or in Overdrive? That means they are all checked out at the moment. But check again soon, as someone could finish and return one at anytime!

How does Grab & Go work?

14 Day Loan Period - Borrow Grab & Go titles for up to two weeks.

No Holds, No Renewals - Books cannot be renewed or placed on hold. They do not display in the library catalog.

Late Fines - $.30 a day.

Digital Readers - Electronic titles will return automatically after 2 weeks. If you don't see any Grab & Go titles in Overdrive, that means they are all checked out.

Done Reading? - Return your Grab & Go title for the next reader to discover!
