All public libraries in Milwaukee County have had access to e-magazines since 2021. Thousands of titles are available to all residents and can be found within the Libby app, Wisconsin’s Digital Library (the desktop version of Libby), the CountyCat desktop catalog or the CountyCat Mobile app. Within the Libby app or Wisconsin’s Digital Library, you may browse e-magazines that are available. When using CountyCat or CountyCat mobile, you’ll need to search by title.
