Find eMagazines from the Twin Cities Metro eLibrary

Our eMagazines have moved from RBdigital to Libby. You may now conveniently discover and read eMagazines in the same app as your eBooks and eAudiobooks.

Scott County Library has united with other area libraries on Libby to bring you more content than ever before. The Twin Cities Metro eLibrary combines eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eMagazines from 8 library systems. Brought to you by MELSA, the Metropolitan Library Services Agency.
