Hi,
Thanks for your question. We have reported the trouble to the NYT but don't have an ETA for resolution.
In the meantime, I found a way around this which may work for you. Try the steps below.
- From the Baltimore County Public Library's (BCPL's) home page at (www.bcpl.info).
- Select the Books and More tab and a menu will drop down.
- Select Digital Library or Research Databases.
- Scroll down the list and select the New York Times (NYT) link. Or you can use this link to get to BCPL's NYT page.
- You should land on a BCPL page that says, "Enjoy Free Access to NYTimes.com".
- Select 'Access from outside the library'.
- You should be redirected to NYT page that has the "Redeem" your code button and it says "Your code has already been redeemed".
- Click on the New York Times masthead (in the upper left side of the screen, as shown below).
- You should land on the NYT home page, then select the Login button (upper right side of screen, as shown below).
- Enter your email and password on the NYT login screen.
- Now you will see the subscribe/paywall screen.
- Scroll way down past the "Continue to checkout" and "PayPal" buttons.
- Select the "Continue without subscribing" link.
- I got one more "subscribe" paywall, clicked the NYT masthead again and then I was able to read several articles.
- After that, I was also able to read on the NYT mobile app on my phone without any paywalls appearing.
If that does not work, try using a different, up-to-date web browser or clear the cache on your Chrome browser. Then repeat the steps above.
I am sorry for the inconvenience and will let you know as soon as this is fixed.
