Keep up to date with PressReader

Hot off the press: did you know that your library card gives you access to thousands of eMagazines and eNewspapers in full colour, full-page format?

Read on to discover how we can help you use PressReader to read content from more than 100 countries in 60 languages.

What’s the story?

PressReader has made keeping up to date with the news more accessible than ever before. And we aren’t just talking about standalone articles. You can read entire magazines and newspapers cover-to-cover on your device.

In addition to articles, you can enjoy all the same content you would expect from print publications, such as classifieds, comics, puzzles and family notices.

Whether you’re looking for your morning fix of The Guardian or El País, or you’re eager to relax in the evening with the latest edition of Mindfood or Rolling Stone, PressReader has something for everybody!

Also featured are regional newspapers from across Aotearoa / New Zealand, from the Northern Advocate down to the Otago Daily Times.

Read all about it

PressReader is simple to navigate. If you don’t know what you want to read, it’s a piece of cake to find great suggestions. Just use the menu to browse the categories, and then use filters to display titles based on country and language.

If you know what you’re looking for, you’ll find it easy to search for publications by name, and there is no limit to the number of articles you can read!

If you’re worried about straining your eyes, PressReader has taken care of this as well. Use ‘Text view’ to read articles with larger font and no need to zoom. You can also choose ‘Listen’ and have the articles read aloud.

Lastly, eNewspapers and eMagazines are a great environmentally friendly option for anyone looking to reduce their paper waste!
