Newport Beach Library

Access The Orange County Register, The Daily Pilot, and other Newspapers with NewsBank.

The NewsBank database allows you to access full scans of many of California’s newspapers. This means you can see each story with its images, crosswords, comics, advertisements, and other useful information that isn’t available elsewhere.

To access the Orange County Register using your library card, follow these steps:

1. Once you have opened NewsBank, access The Orange County Register Collection

2. Use the link with the Format labeled “Image”

3. Browse or search for the date of the paper you would like to access

This will let you browse The Orange County Register digitally, as though you had a perfect copy of the physical paper in front of you.
