Leon Cowle<p>I know others have said it, but it bears repeating. I've just found that our local library offers free access to the NYT, Washington Post, Washington Journal. They give you a redemption code which you use to create an account on those services. So cool! So be sure to check out what *your* library offers! <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/publiclibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publiclibraries</span></a></p>
