Sign In Box

You may encounter a pop-up box like the one below or even banner ads.  Unfortunately, there is no ad free subscription access to remove banner ads when on a Site License such as McFarlin Library has. You can "X out" ads and you may just ignore buttons to Sign In or subscribe as subscription access is fully open as long as you're signed in to your account through the library.

Sign-In box from Washington Post website

Click on the "X" in the right corner of the pop-up box (circled in red) to close this and other ads that pop up.
