My go to news stand

Great selection. I really like that you can tap the titles of articles and read them in a device friendly way as well as see the “print layout” too on bigger devices.

PressReader is great

PressReader is great, particularly with the free subscription from our library which gives access to a wide range of varied content.

Great lending service

I use PressReader every day to access national newspapers and international newspapers and some magazines. I think it’s a great service and fulfills the ethos of public landing libraries. I wouldn’t be buying all those journals, so it gives great access too many people.

A wonderful resource for readers

This app has a great range of different newspapers and magazines in a variety of languages. It’s clear, easy to use and the content is excellent- from daily newspapers, well researched articles to more specialised interests.
