Random 8 digit number worked for me. Good to see lots of magazines there too - they even have Viz! Unfortunately ever time I try to go beyond the first page I'm kicked back to the home screen using Chrome on my PC. On the mobile site it just gets stuck on "Loading, please wait..." Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Was that on the Magazines or the Newspapers? I can use the Magazines but newspapers doesn't work for me anymore

I was in the library last week and saw a sign saying that zinio access would be withdrawn in a number of weeks. It'll be replaced by something else.

just managed to log in with a 8 digit code

Cathmandooo · 24-01-2017 3:04pm

I got in there, stuck in an 8 digit code, which was denied, then stuck a 0 in front of it and got in.

Thanks op!

I can access magazines through Zinio, but failed to access the newspapers. Followed link in OP, tried random 7 digits, 8 digits, library card number preceded by 0.

Oh no! Thats pretty much the best bargain ever. Do you know what the replacement will be?

I'm having luck with 8 digit numbers starting with 3. I have tried about 10 and they have all worked.

jimmynokia · 24-01-2017 6:18pm

Random 8 starting with number 3 worked for me just now

Stupidly logged out from the website on my PC and now cant get back in with my previous "credentials" (made up 7 digit number).
I've opened a S. Dublin Public Library account, went in to put my number and it still says invalid. Is anybody else able to get in with a Dublin Library card number??
Thanks

I was able to get in with a "random" 8 digit number starting with a zero. I must've tried 10x with true random numbers (and my proper Library ID number) but wasnt able. Thanks for the tip
Pity about Zinio as the interface on tablets was great. Will ask the Library what it will be substituted with

I wrote to the librariesireland.ie about this to ask if it was the case and they said that it's not true, there are no plans to change Zinio access.

Maybe you saw an old poster from last year when they changed the Zinio service and made it nationwide. People had to delete their old accounts and make news ones on the librariesireland.ie site.

Hopefully that's the case anyway as there's so much great content for free on that service now.

Any time I try to read a magazine, it shows the first page, when I try to go to the next page, it just goes back to the home page? Anyone else seeing this?

Exact same for me - I've tried it with Chrome and IE on 2 different windows computers + in an incognito tab. Same for Chrome on Android. Just before it goes back to the home page there a little animation of a rectangle shrinking and moving to the top of the page.

Works for me in Firefox.
Try clicking on the next page icon on the bottom of the page beside the printer icon.

Tried that too. Really annoying, because this worked perfect for my previously.

Same exact thing is happening to me on Firefox. Tried everything but I only get so see the front page of newspapers.

Shanegggg · 27-01-2017 1:45pm

Same problem with Firefox this morning.

Logged out and logged in with an 8 digit number starting with 4.
All working again!

poitinstill · 28-01-2017 9:36am

working perfect on Chrome random number starting with 0

mac.in · 30-01-2017 12:18pm

So this has been replaced by pressreader app. Not available in DCC but I signed up online with a wicklow address and within minutes had access to the likes of uncut, hot press, irish indo, the guardian etc. Nice easy to use app too.

Did you need a library card number etc ?
Any reason you specifically needed a Wicklow address?

Maybe more broadly, how did you go about signing up for free?
Many thanks in advance

Dublin City where I live didn't seem to be on the list of particapating libraries so I used my folks address instead (Easy to find a wicklow address online anyways.) I created an account and they gave me a library card number straightaway which I used to sign up.

Copper_pipe · 06-12-2017 3:53pm

Cant find link on site to register?

Is this the site you created your library account on ? http://www.librariesireland.ie/join-the-library/

Pressreader says you need a library PIN number in the app when you try to sign in. What PIN did you use?

Can you give us th link you signed up on please?
Thank you! This is a fantastic bargain.

Bit confused, I use this every day by going to library.pressdisplay.com and logging in with an email address and library number.

When I try to log in on this pressreader app I'm asked for an email address and password. It's not accepting the library number as the password.

Any ideas?

Rows Grower · 06-12-2017 4:58pm

I use the link in the first post, and then any eight digit number beginning with 4 as membership number.

Never once had a problem, one of the best ever bargain alerts actually.

Are in Wicklow? If not it possibly won't work. It seems that only a few libraries are signed upto this scheme and Wicklow is one.

You need to sign up for a seperate library ID using your name and a Wicklow address and Eircode
Do that here : https://lgma.iii.com/selfreg

After you've regged read the page that appears, it'll instruct to get a PIN by clicking a link.
Click the link.
I didn't get a pin but did see a link saying "edit pin" , click that.
It'll ask for your present pin but when you click in that box the pin they've allocated you will appear encrypted.
Below that are two boxes asking you to fill in your chosen pin. Do that. Click save.

That number wll now be your pin and you can enter it on the site or in the app.

Thanks to Sweetie for this pretty great bargain and for answering Qs!
