PressDisplay


The PressDisplay database allows “…Instant access to 2200+ plus newspapers from 97 countries in 54 languages.”  In other words, read the local take on news from any locality.  You can use this database as a newsreader but you can also use its search functionality to find news articles from around the country (& world) or topics of particular interest to you.

In addition to being able to read them online, users who install the PressReader app on their mobile device, and connect through any Branch Library wi-fi, can download papers for offline reading without subscribing.  You will find the app here (http://www.pressreader.com/). 

Access the database by going to the Library’s Research & Homework page (http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework#P).
