“It’s simple to use, and you can read your favourite titles on your computer or your mobile device using the PressReader app.
"So, if you are already a member, please check out the wide range of titles that are available to you through PressReader – there's bound to be something of interest. If you are not a library member, please join for free today so that you don't miss out.
“And, with the cost of living putting individuals and families under greater pressure, it’s a quick and easy way to save a bit of extra money each month.”
