Library patrons have one more way to scroll through a magazine with access to a new digital service.
The Vancouver Island Regional Library now offers PressReader, a digital newspaper and magazine service that allows people to tap into more than 2,500 local, regional and international titles on their tablets, smartphones and laptops.
The service has a selection of digital publications from more than 100 countries in 60 languages, including popular reads like the National Post, The Guardian and Aujourd’hui en France.
“PressReader is a great solution for libraries like Vancouver Island Regional Library that are looking to extend their global catalogue,” said Igor Smirnoff, chief commercial officer for PressReader. “PressReader’s convenient, eco-friendly delivery format and advanced technology makes reading a more engaging experience.”
Library goers can access the service by connecting to the building’s Wi-Fi and visiting PressReader.com, Library.PressDisplay.com or by downloading the free PressReader app to their device. There is unlimited access and the ability to download titles to read later.
