Beaumont Library Now Has Acorn TV, New York Times Online and More

Stream your favorite TV shows from the BBC and other networks in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand through Beaumont Library’s new streaming resource, Acorn TV.

This free service gives access to “A Place to Call Home,” “Agatha Christie’s Poirot,” and “Doc Martin,” to name a few.

All of the programs can be easily accessed through RB Digital’s app on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or Internet-ready TV. The app also allows you to listen to e-audiobooks through the Library’s OneClickDigital resource and read digital magazines through Zinio.

If you have an older TV, you can use a streaming device like Roku, Google Chromecast, Amazon’s Fire stick, etc. to get Acorn TV. But, remember, this free service requires a Beaumont Library card!

In addition, now available at the library are online access to the New York Times and Archives Unbound (which has over 290,000 documents related to U.S. and World History).
