If you go to http://library.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx and key in a random 7 digit number into the "Barcode/Library card No" it will give u access to 5000 newspapers around the world and a range of material for children like comics such as the Beano, Horrible Histories etc.

I got this from hukd. theres a list below For Irish newspapers.

Cool find.

You don't need to put in email address just the barcode and go.

What's the story with the clickbait title?

Sappy404 · 18-11-2016 09:30AM

Wallstreet Journal there, following in the footsteps of Wicklow People and The Kerryman with a local edition.

Great find OP!

Anyone found a phone or tablet app?

Joziburg · 19-11-2016 12:34PM

Great find!!! Thanks. Does feel like an old iPhone app!?

hmmm · 19-11-2016 12:43PM

I think this is less of a Bargain alert and more of a bug.

Prenderb · 19-11-2016 02:31PM

What's the random number?

It's hidden in the OP

_Whimsical_ · 19-11-2016 05:31PM

This works really well in a tablet without an app!
If I could like your post twice OP I would.

Anyone know how you can register an account using this sort of login, just so we could keep access when this bug is inevitably fixed?

There are loads of magazines there too btw if you search or look through the listings by country.

Get a library card! That's what's meant to be used.

Dunno. Starts with a digit? Then six more? Or something?

Anyone have any bangers?

I have a library card, but wasn't arsed to find it, so I went for a number completely at random. Well I did start with 20 as that's what my library card starts with, and something like maybe 8 digits in all. I tried more at first and it didn't work, so around 7/8 digits at random.

Thanks OP love it, I was able to read a whole load of French papers and magazines I hadn't read in ages.
I'm going to register for good I think.

Good bargain but lacking a good few quality Irish Sunday Papers like Sunday World

.

allthedoyles · 20-11-2016 08:32PM

Our local rag is there and you can read it page by page . Thanks you just saved me €2 a week.

Marhay70 · 20-11-2016 08:57PM

Interesting that virtually all the titles available from Ireland are part of the INM group. Really only a bargain if you subscribe to the Denis O'Brien take on things.

And beware everyone, there's only another several thousand publications from around the world to choose from if you're not a fan of the Indo, so don't go getting unnecessarily excited now :rolleyes:

studdlymurphy · 21-11-2016 10:02PM

Invalid barcode? Do I need to give email and password?

xraylady · 21-11-2016 11:05PM

Looks like it's stopped working..
I've tried too and giving 'invalid barcode message'
Oh well!

byte · 21-11-2016 11:10PM

Sure just sign up to the local library, you'll get access then.

Also access to tons of magazines with zinio.

Stupidly logged out from the website on my PC and now cant get back in with my previous "credentials" (made up 7 digit number).
I've opened a S. Dublin Public Library account, went in to put my number and it still says invalid. Is anybody else able to get in with a Dublin Library card number??
Thanks

Pique · 24-01-2017 12:34AM

Must try this. Thanks OP.

digitaldr · 24-01-2017 02:12PM

Random 8 digit number worked for me. Good to see lots of magazines there too - they even have Viz! Unfortunately ever time I try to go beyond the first page I'm kicked back to the home screen using Chrome on my PC. On the mobile site it just gets stuck on "Loading, please wait..." Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

bricky06 · 24-01-2017 02:53PM

A random 8 digit code worked for me too and I've had no issues with chrome on Android. The UI is extremely clunky though, not sure how much I'll be using it...

_Whimsical_ · 24-01-2017 02:55PM

Random 8 digit number not working for me!
Peculiar...
