@lameretoilee Log in with a JMRL card number to the Southwest Virginia Public Libraries Overdrive collection (SWVA) and the magazines will be right there, no switching or adding other cards/libraries. Hope that helps.
@lameretoilee If you have been using “Find It Virginia Overdrive collection” on the Libby app to search for magazines and other titles, that is no longer active. JMRL has incorporated them into our own collection, so it is hopefully easier to find.

If you’re shopping the #friendsbooksale this week, you can join the Friends when you check out. The Fall Friends of the Library Book Sale continues through Sunday, Oct. 23, 10am – 7pm each day. Saturday, Oct. 22 & Sunday, Oct. 23 will be half-price days.
Great timing for #NationalFriendsofLibrariesWeek! JMRL could not provide the library service that this community expects and deserves without the support of the Friends. Want to be a Friend? Sign up at https://t.co/hFgBHE0JZ7 (link in bio). #jmrl#nfolw22#friendyourlibrary
