You can read literally thousands of newspapers and magazines around Canada and the world with PressReader. Publications include the Ottawa Citizen, Le Devoir, Canadian Geographic, Sélection/Reader’s Digest, Elle Québec, Kayak, Style at Home, Our Canada, Géo Plein Air and Hockey News.  The Globe and Mail is only available for in-library use only.

You are not restricted to the default interface.  A drop-down menu on the upper right of the web page allows you to change the language, the order of the publications seen and how you want to see the display of publications.  Signing in to the PressReader website through the Ottawa Public Library and your library card will allow you to select your favourite publications so you do not need to browse the menu every time.  It also allows you to keep the language settings.

Once an article or page is selected, the menu at the top right changes. There are options to select the Interface language (as before), a translation of the article, the choice to have the article read to you, and alter the size of the text for easier reading.

Other options include printing a selected page, sharing it through social media or email, printing the page or selection of a page, or save it to a collection.

PressReader has an app for most operating systems: iOS, Android, Windows (mobile and desktop), Amazon Fire and Blackberry.  Click here for a guide on how to set up PressReader.
