Library members in Stoke-on-Trent can now read six daily newspapers for free, thanks to a new digital newspaper service available through the BorrowBox app.
The new ePress service gives library members free access to the latest editions of the Sentinel, Staffordshire Newsletter, The Guardian, the i newspaper, Daily Mail and Metro.
New editions are available on the day they are published, with back copies also available to browse.
Available 24 hours a day, the service makes it easy to catch up with local, regional and national news from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet.
Councillor Sarah Hill, cabinet member for finance, anti-poverty, governance and corporate services, said: “Libraries have always been about giving people free access to information and that now extends far beyond the books on our shelves.
“Whether you’re catching up with local headlines, following national news or reading your favourite newspaper on the go, this new service gives library members another great reason to make the most of everything our libraries have to offer.”
To access ePress, library members can download the BorrowBox app, select Stoke-on-Trent Libraries and sign in using their library card number and PIN.
Anyone who is not already a member of Stoke-on-Trent Libraries can join free of charge online or by visiting their local library.
