@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been using “Find It Virginia Overdrive collection” on the Libby app to search for magazines and other titles, that is no longer active.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.

@J_MRL why did you get rid of magazines on our onedrive accounts?
