This will give you unlimited access for 30 days - after which time, you will need to reactivate your access by logging back in again.
Please note: If, after signing in to Pressreader using your library membership details, you are still being asked to pay to access any of the titles, check under 'Settings' that HotSpots are enabled, so that you can enjoy sponsored access to the full collection of premium content on Pressreader.
Your membership number is either the barcode number on your library card or the number on the back of your HillingdonFirst card.
Please enter the full membership number without any spaces when using it to log in to the online resources.
If the number on your library card does not have the prefix 20112, you will need to add it at the beginning when using your membership number to use the online resources.
If using your HillingdonFirst card as your library membership card, it must have been activated at one of our libraries.*
