PressReader FAQs

• Why does PressReader say I have to pay?

  Occasionally, PressReader requires you to fully sign out of your account and then sign back in.  This should remove the "pay" and "subscribe" options, as with your library card you should not be charged anything.

• What is available through PressReader?

  Full-issue, full-colour newspapers are made available online on publication day, and most titles include back issues. Over 7000 newspapers & magazines in more than 60 languages can be viewed on computers, tablets, and smartphones.

  Some titles are only available while visiting an SDG Library Branch (i.e. The Globe and Mail); however, the majority of publications are available anywhere.

• How do I access PressReader?

  You can access PressReader through the app or through your web browser. To access PressReader through a web browser, follow these steps.

  • Click the "Sign In" button near the top-right of the screen.
  • Click the "Library and Group" button.
  • Select or search for "SDG Library" from the list.
