Introduction

Getting started

PressReader is available from your app store. Begin by locating and installing the PressReader app on your smart device.

The next two screens allow you to choose what subjects and/or titles you will be reading. You can skip these if you wish but when you reach the screen shown below you will need to choose Libraries & Groups.
