PressReader for Public Libraries
Watch our video
It all started in 1999. We had a vision to keep patrons
connected to stories that mattered– stories from home, and
from around the globe.
Now, PressReader is an award-winning platform that delivers
digital content to patrons in a way that makes sense to them.
We’ve partnered with thousands of publishers to bring over
7,000 trusted newspapers and magazines to a single, user-
friendly platform.
We offer 7,000+
publications available
on any device.
Offices in Ireland,
Manila, as well as a
network of global
representatives
We’re a Canadian
company
headquartered in
Vancouver.

care about, and discover exciting new favorites.
