Want to keep up with the latest national news? You can read The New York Times website for free with your Iowa City Public Library card.
What do I need to get started?
- Library card and password
- Be a resident of Iowa City, Hills, Lone Tree, University Heights, and rural Johnson County.
How does it work?
Short Version:
Find The New York Times Unlimited under Online Resources. Log in with your library account and redeem the code. From there, you’ll either need to log in with your New York Times account or create one.
Step by Step Instructions:
Click on Online Resources, then click on New York Times (Unlimited Access).
Use your library card number and password to log in.
Click on Redeem.
If you have a New York Times account, log in. If not, create an account with a valid email address.
What you need to know:
- You’ll be able to read The New York Times website for 72 hours. Once the time expires, you need to come back to ICPL and do this again to get another 72 hours of access.
- The New York Times archives and crossword puzzles are not part of the deal. My apologies! But we have other options for historical New York Times content.
- If you live in Coralville and North Liberty, you can get The New York Times through the Coralville Public Library and the North Liberty Community Library. It works similarly, just different library cards.
We are happy to assist in any way. Help is just a click away.

"When Sofia Salvador finished a show, applause wasn't an obligation, but a release. Without even realizing it, you'd held your breath and tensed your body while she sang, as if you were afraid that even the smallest movement would startle her away. But as soon as she bowed and thanked you, every emotion she'd dredged up inside you was suddenly clamoring to be let loose. How could you not clap, howl, whistle, and call for one more? One more! Please, just one more? And of course, Sofia Salvador always relented." If you are in the mood for something lyrical that provides a great sense of place with a focus on character development and friendship, look no further than Frances de Pontes Peebles' The Air You Breathe. Set in Brazil, this is a story of two women, Dores and Graca, who are from very different backgrounds (yet from the same plantation) who love samba. They run away to Lapa and develop an act, but it quickly becomes apparent that it is Graca (as the stage name Sofia Salvador) that everyone wants to hear. The story is told from Dores' point of view as she struggles with being forced in the shadow of Graca's fame, while trying to find her own voice. I alternated between the print and the audiobook. Rebecca Mozo's reading of the book is fantastic. -Anne M
