What you get

Full free access to nytimes.com — every article, every section, all multimedia, plus the Spanish-language and Mandarin Chinese editions. The archive goes back to 1851. This is the same product a paid subscriber gets.
You do not need to live in Nevada County. Any California resident with a public library card (or who can visit a California library in person) qualifies. [Source: library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/nyt (accessed 2026-05-17)]

Two ways to read it

1. Inside a Nevada County library (unlimited)

Go to any Nevada County Community Library branch. While on the library Wi-Fi or a library computer:
  1. Visit myaccount.nytimes.com/auth/register.
  1. Create a free NYT account with any personal email, or log in if you already have one.
  1. Read as long as you're connected to library Wi-Fi.

2. From home or your phone (72 hours at a time)

  1. Go to nevadacountyca.gov/2640/New-York-Times and click the Offsite Access link, or go directly to nytimes.com/redeem.
  1. Click Redeem.
  1. Create a free NYT account or log in to your existing one.
  1. You now have 72 hours of full access. When it expires, come back to the same link and redeem again. There's no limit on how many times you can renew. [Source: nevadacountyca.gov/2640/New-York-Times (accessed 2026-05-17)]

Common problems

  • The redeem link asks for payment. You skipped the library redemption step. Start over at nytimes.com/redeem, not the regular signup page.
  • You're locked out after 72 hours. That's normal. Go back to the redeem link and activate another 72-hour pass. You can do this as often as you want.
  • You already have a paid NYT subscription. Cancel it. The library pass works with any free NYT account — there's no reason to pay.
  • You're a student or have an .edu email. Many California colleges (UC, CSU, community colleges) also provide free NYT access. Check with your campus library first; it's usually unlimited and doesn't expire every 72 hours.

Get help

  • Nevada County Library — call the Madelyn Helling branch in Nevada City at (530) 265-7050, or visit any branch and ask staff to walk you through it.
