You can get a free digital copy of Model Railroader magazine from the Winnipeg Public Library

This is no April Fool's joke. If you live in Winnipeg and have a library card, you can get a free digital copy of Model Railroader magazine. But you can't keep it forever. After three weeks it vanishes. We don't know why, it just happens. But you can read a copy of  Model Railroader magazine in three weeks, can't you? It's  a pretty good deal, and that's the usual time you're allowed to take out almost anything else from the library.

Here's what you have to do to get your free copy: 

Open your account, then log out.
The window for “Winnipeg Public Library’s Search Catalogue” shows up.
Click on Digital Library guide

A window will show up that says success. Click on “Read now in Browser” and it will show up. It’s yours for three weeks.
Click on the hand on the window to turn the pages.
When you’re finished reading, just close it. If you want to read it again, go to “My account” and click on “Loans” . It will show up again. Just click on “read now on browser”.
When you log out, you can just log in again, go to checkouts, click on digital checkouts and it will be there.
