Getting Started with Zinio - Free magazines from your Library!
Our collection of 200 popular magazines is always available with your Library card number and PIN and from anywhere you have access to a computer or WiFi enabled device. There is no limit on the number of magazines you can download, and you keep them as long as you like.
Here's how you can get FREE MAGAZINES from the library, to keep forever!
Start at the Library District web page: http://www.lvccld.org
Click on "Zinio eMagazines" in the Quick Links box, at the bottom of the page.

This takes you to the Library Zinio control center:
If you want to see a list of the magazines to which we subscribe, click the "How to Use" tab, at the top: They're grouped by topic, on the right of the page.

Setting up your Zinio access - there are two steps.
First you'll create a LIBRARY ZINIO account. Then you'll create a ZINIO ZINIO account.
The LIBRARY ZINIO account is where you'll check out the FREE magazines.
The ZINIO ZINIO account is where you'll READ the FREE MAGAZINES. (You can also subscribe to other Zinio magazines in your ZINIO ZINIO account, but you'll pay for those yourself.)
Getting the LIBRARY ZINIO ACCOUNT
Click the "Getting Started - Creating Two Accounts" tab, at the top of the page:
Then, in the left column, #1 - click "Go to the LVCCLD Zinio page".
The computer will ask you to log in to your library account.
Note: Zinio is only for LVCCLD residents.
It's not available for North Las Vegas Library or Boulder City Library residents.
Henderson residents can go to the Henderson Library page:
http://mypubliclibrary.com, and click "downloads" on the top bar.

STOP HERE! This page messes people up.
If you DON'T already have a LIBRARY ZINIO account, DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING IN THE EMAIL OR PASSWORD BOXES!
Just leave those boxes BLANK, and click the purple "Create Account" button.
THAT will take you to the "Create Account" page. (It looks similar, but it really is different!)
Fill in this form, and click the GREEN "Create Account" button.
Note: Your password should be at least 6 characters long.
It can be letters or numbers or a combination.

Solution:
This can happen when more than one person uses the same computer to read library Zinio Magazines. Here's how to fix this.
From the "bad" page, please go directly to the regular Zinio page: Type http://www.zinio.com in the address bar at the top of the page:
Then click "Register" in the upper right.
Complete the registration form.
Be SURE to use the SAME email address you used for the Library Zinio account. (That's how Zinio knows what you've checked out from the library.)
When you click "Join Zinio", you'll see your Zinio Zinio account - just like on page 8.
