How do I find UK newspapers and magazines?
From the Library PressReader home page select ‘publications by country’ then click on ‘UK’.
Can I use the service while on holiday?
Yes, but please note that PressReader’s systems will now check whether the IP address is a UK one. This might affect you if you travel abroad and try and sign-in via local Wi-Fi if your 30 day access period ends whilst you are abroad. It is advisable to sign-in afresh for your new 30 day period before departure from the UK.
