Just in time for the holidays, The Seattle Public Library has added several online newspaper subscriptions to our collections that should make Seattle’s cooks, sports fans, shoppers, gamers and news followers very joyful.
Seattle Public Library cardholders now have 24/7 online access to an expanded New York Times subscription that includes NYT Cooking, Games, the Athletic and Wirecutter; as well as full access to the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.
All subscriptions are available through the Magazines and Newspapers section of the Library website, which also includes full-text access to many other newspapers and periodicals, including the Seattle Times. You can also check out the Magazines and Newspapers on Your Device page for specific tips on connecting to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.
To access these subscriptions, you need a Library card (apply in minutes at spl.org/card) or a Library Link account (spl.org/LibraryLink), available for Seattle Public Schools teachers and students.
Here are the details. If you need help connecting, you can always contact us at www.spl.org/Ask, at 206-386-4636, or at any of our library locations.
