Prince Frederick, MD (PRWEB) May 20, 2016 -- Recorded Books, Inc. and ZINIO are proud to announce a new partnership with Bauer Media Group USA whereby the publisher’s leading digital magazine titles are now available to U.S. and Canadian libraries through the Zinio for Libraries service.

Their addition to the existing catalog of almost 4,000 titles will add strength and depth across the key categories of entertainment, women’s interest, science and youth, allowing us to further improve the service for our library clients.

“We are excited to enhance the Zinio for Libraries offering with these top-selling titles from Bauer Media Group USA,” said Jim Schmidt, Recorded Books senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Their addition to the existing catalog of almost 4,000 titles will add strength and depth across the key categories of entertainment, women’s interest, science and youth, allowing us to further improve the service for our library clients.”

Bauer Media Group USA, a leading global media company, sells more retail magazines in the U.S. than any other magazine publishing company. Their titles launching through Zinio for Libraries include Woman’s World, the #1 selling retail magazine in the U.S., along with First for Women, In Touch Weekly, Life&Style Weekly, and Closer, all in the top 15 by circulation and retail revenue (Alliance for Audited Media: Total Average Paid, Verified, & Analyzed Nonpaid Circulation; Report 2nd Half 2015).

“We chose Zinio for Libraries to be our exclusive channel, as we believe it aligns perfectly with our core brand values,” said Sebastian Raatz, executive vice president, Bauer Media Group USA. “The combination of Recorded Books’ expertise in digital content for libraries and ZINIO’s best-in-class digital magazine reading experience will ensure library patrons across the U.S. and Canada can now enjoy the best our magazines have to offer.”

In addition to the above titles, J-14, the leading teen celebrity magazine in the U.S., Girls’ World and Animal Tales will join the existing selection of youth magazines available on Zinio for Libraries, supplemented by spiritual magazine Simple Grace and iD (Ideas & Discovery) for science readers.

“Following the launch of Bauer Media Group USA on the ZINIO Newsstand earlier in the year, it was a natural progression to extend their distribution to the Zinio for Libraries service,” said Joan Sola, ZINIO executive vice president for global markets. “ZINIO continues to develop valuable strategic channels for our publishers and we are certain that Zinio for Libraries will prove to be a key outlet for the Bauer Media Group USA titles.”

Zinio for Libraries, the world’s leading digital magazine service for libraries, brings the very best titles to thousands of libraries worldwide. With this service, libraries can create custom collections from thousands of magazines, in multiple languages and genres, from both North American and global publishers. Zinio features full-color, digital editions for instant desktop reading, mobile streaming, and mobile-app download. Patrons are able to select both new and back issues, adding them to their personal collection with no holds or checkout periods. And with personal notifications for their favorite magazines, patrons never miss an issue.
