Ask KCLS - LibAnswers

for patrons who ask about the cancelation of the Oxford English Dictionary OED

Dear Patron Name,

Thank you for contacting the King County Library System about the Seattle Times online subscription.  

This subscription will end on 12/31/2020 and KCLS does not have plans to renew it for budgetary reasons.  KCLS had a free trial to it sponsored by the vendor, Newsbank, and the Washington State Library in Olympia. 

If you are interested in continuing to use the service, you might consider applying for a Washington State Library ecard to access this service.
