A pop up green coffee cup icon confirms you can access newspapers online or download to read offline for 30 days on your device. (See image above with Hotspot)

At the end of the 30 days, simply go to your account, sign out and then back in again with your library card number to reactivate your complimentary access for another 30 days.

Reactivate as many times as you wish!

Save your favourite newspapers for easy access

Once logged in to Press Reader, you can save your favourite newspapers so you can access them quickly whenever you want to read them.

Pressing the follow button will make it easier to find that publication on a daily basis. Publications you are following will appear in the My Library tab of Press Reader’s bottom menu.

Also on PressReader.

The New York Times covers domestic, national, and international news, and publishes opinion pieces, investigative reports, and reviews.
