New magazine database



The LION libraries consortium has launched a new downloadable magazine service called Zinio. Download new magazines to your computer or mobile device. You will need to create two accounts (be sure to use the same email address for both accounts), one with LION and one with Zinio. Detailed instructions are available here.

Remember that Blackstone Library patrons have free movies with an account at IndieFlix.



The Reference Department is hosting Tech Tuesdays: one-on-one sessions with a librarian where you can get help with a technology-related question. Reservations are required, so stop by or call us at 203-488-1441, ext. 318 to sign up. Read more on our flyer.
