Quick answer
United States
Weekly issues in Libby with a library card
The New Yorker is an OverDrive magazine, and the November 9, 2026 issue is already listed. Many US public libraries, such as Princeton Public Library, carry it, and magazines usually have no waitlist. Add your library card in the Libby app and search for the title.
Article text in library databases
Many libraries carry the text of New Yorker articles from 2004 onward in EBSCO databases such as MasterFILE Premier or Academic Search Ultimate. NC LIVE, which serves North Carolina libraries, is one example. You get the article text, often without the original layout or images.
