Online Access to Local Newspapers
Did you know that many print newspapers, including the Kent News, Star Democrat, and Baltimore Sun are also available online? Did you know there are at least two ways to access those papers online, and that Google-ing the name of the paper or going directly to the paper's Web site may not always be the best way?
On their Web sites, many online newspapers will provide access to current articles free of charge, but older archived articles require a subscription or purchase to view. Some newspapers provide only teasers of current stories free of charge and require a subscription to finish reading those stories.
Enter your local library. We have purchased online access to articles from many local and national newspapers and magazines for your use. In many cases, we can offer full text of current articles AND older articles going back months, years, even decades. All free of charge to you for browsing, searching, and reading.
The only catch? In order to get this access, you have to get to the paper through our Web site, and if you're not in the library, you'll need to enter your library card number. That's it. And it's just so you can show you're one of our patrons, and therefore entitled to this additional access we've purchased.
So, please enjoy browsing, searching, and reading the following, on us:
