Press Reader – the app giving free access to 7,000 online newspapers and magazines – is now live and free to access for anyone with an Explore library card.
Explore was able to buy a subscription to Press Reader with part of the grant awarded last week by City of York Council from the Covid-19 general support grant.
If you don’t have a York Card or a Library Card, you can find out how to sign up online HERE
Here is how to use Press Reader…
- Download the PressReader app from your app store, or just visit the website in your internet browser (the app is recommended for the touchscreen experience)
- Click “Sign in”
- Click “Libraries and Groups”
- Select “Explore York Libraries and Archives…” from the list by searching for “Explore” or “York”
- Enter your library card number and click sign in (note: this is your card number starting with a Y, not any kind of alternative ID you may have set up)
- It’ll ask for your email address, a password and your name to set up an account. Remember the password because you’ll need this again in 30 days. Also on this screen you can browse the terms and privacy policy. Then tap sign in at the bottom.
- That’s it, you’re signed in. Click “select publication” to start browsing.
After 30 days you’ll need to log in again with your email address and password.
