I just checked our library site and they have access to some newspapers. They also have a site you can get into for genealogy. I love Heritage quest and they have some periodicals and books listed. Found some that I was sure had information on both my husbands and my family lines so was able to put the books on interlibrary loan and found some interesting items. I can also access things like Consumers Reports magazines and that has been helpful when we were interesting in purchasing something. Nadine
