For many months I've been mentioning that the Ottawa Public Library, and likely many others, provides free access to the British genealogy magazine Who Do You Think You Are? through PressReader.
We now have free access to the other major British newsstand genealogy magazine, Family Tree, through another service, RBdigital Unlimited Magazines (Zinio).
To find Family Tree log on to the OPL website with your membership card credentials. Scroll way down to Online Resources and under Read click on Digital Magazines. Now scroll to the bottom and click RBdigital Unlimited Magazines (Zinio). I couldn't find a search function so click on FILTER, then Genre.
Are you still with me? It's possible you may have to Register the first time you go there.
Select Other. Family Tree is in the third row.
If you're not in Ottawa your public library probably has RBdigital access. Halifax, Kingston, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria; and in Quebec via BANQ, all do.
NOTE: According to a notice on the Campbell River Public Library website RBdigital magazines will be migrating to OverDrive and the Libby app this month.

I have been using Press Reader for WDYTYA for a while now.
Just a note about RB Digital and its Zinio collection - in BC at least, there are issues right now accessing those magazines through the library subscription for RBD. We're hoping they get it resolved quickly.
I'm lucky in that the library where I work subscribes to the hard copy version of the UK Family Tree magazine :)
