How to Read the Wichita Eagle Newspaper for Free

If you’ve ever clicked a link to a Wichita Eagle article only to hit that frustrating paywall pop-up telling you that you can’t read it without a subscription, you’re definitely not alone. It happens all the time, and it’s especially annoying when you just want to read one local story.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to subscribe or pay a dime. With a FREE Wichita Public Library card, you can read the Wichita Eagle online for FREE. The library gives cardholders full digital access, so you can catch up on local news, events, and stories without running into that “subscriber only” message. It’s one of those easy, money-saving perks that a lot of people don’t realize they already have access to, or just another reason your library card is way more powerful than it gets credit for.

  1. Make sure you have a FREE Wichita Public Library Card.
  2. Go to this Website and enter your library card number.
  3. Click on the “Wichita Eagle Collection”
  4. This will take you to a different page. Click the “Image” option under the “Format” heading.
  5. Choose the date you would like to see.

The Wichita Public Library has many, many books on thousands of topics, but did you know they also have a Library of Things for checkout? You can check out experience passes, computers, kids’ learning toys, anatomy models, telescopes, and even radon detectors.
