Read a newspaper without paying five times over
Read the papers online without a stack of monthly bills, and know which ones your library gives you for nothing.
Four papers at $4 a month comes to $192 a year, which is a good deal more than you ever handed over at the newsagent.
There are three ways round it. Your library card is the one nobody mentions, and it opens several thousand papers and magazines on the day they are printed.
Key points
- Read complete newspapers and magazines free through your library card
- Understand the free-article counter, and know it cannot charge you
- Choose one paper deliberately, rather than four by accident
What to remember
- One card number, several thousand papers.
- A free-article limit is a store window, not a bill.
