To all my fellow Singaporeans, did you know that you can access the e-newspaper with your library account? Here’s how!

Next, click on “SPH Media Newspapers”.

To navigate the newspaper, you can:

• double tap or pinch to zoom,
• swipe left/right to turn the pages, or
• choose a different date (when you click the center of the newspaper, you can click on the calendar icon).

Note that you can read newspapers up to 2 weeks ago. By default, the app will open the newspaper for the day that you open it.

Now, you are ready to go. The more the merrier, please feel free to share with your family and friends. Happy reading! Follow me for more tips! ☺
