Some patrons may notice intermittent delays in the delivery of books and magazines in ZIP and Direct to Player formats. We are working with our service provider to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
Enjoy CELA’s collection of magazines covering a full range of interests from news and current events, business, lifestyle, health, home and food, entertainment, science and technology. Choose from popular magazines available in full text within a day of publication.
Additional magazines are offered in human-narrated audio and embossed braille.
CELA provides access to over 150 popular magazines within a day of publication. The magazines are offered in DAISY text, EPUB and Word formats. They include the full text of magazine articles as well as images for those who can use them but no recorded audio. You may add them to your Direct to Player bookshelf or download them from the website in DAISY zip format.
The magazines can be read with apps such as Dolphin EasyReader or Voice Dream Reader for iOS/Android, or a DAISY player using Direct to Player service. Your DAISY reader app or hardware device will read the text aloud to you, if you wish. Depending on the app or device you use, you can also adapt the text in other ways to meet your needs. For magazine tutorials, see How to read DAISY magazines.
