Two ways to read:
1. At school - You can access the New York Times on DOE internet!
Here are directions to send an article to yourself to read later: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/12/technology/personaltech/saving-a-web-page-as-a-pdf.html
2. Outside of the building - you can access NY Times articles (and other publications) through the Proquest Central Student Database. Use our password to login (Database password sheet) at https://www.brooklyntechlibrary.com/databases
Then search by publications “New York Times” and look for the East Coast edition. You can search articles or sort by date.
