By: Orange County Library
Last month was Library Card Sign - Up Month! Residents of Orange County (as well as those of Albemarle, Culpeper, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, and Spotsylvania) who took the opportunity to get their card have probably already begun to discover the many benefits available through our library system. However, we ’ d like to take a moment and highlight access to America ’ s News.
This service allows users to explore and stay informed on local and national topics, people, and events in areas such as business, health, education, jobs and careers, political and social issues and more, updated daily. Over 3,000 credible, vetted news sources spanning the U.S are available. Of particular local interest are flip - page, full - image versions of several papers including the Charlottesville Daily Progress, the Culpeper Star - Exponent, and the Richmond Times - Dispatch. Searchable access is included for the Madison Eagle, Fredericksburg Free - Lance Star, the Washington Times and over 50 other Virginia newspapers. The Orange County Review is available going back to 2008! Want to check the news where you used to live, or where family members are? Use the clickable map to search papers across the U.S. America ’ s News also includes transcripts from major TV networks and some magazines including the Atlantic, Newsweek, Popular Science, and Smithsonian. These services are free and available remotely to those holding an Orange County library card. Visit any branch to get started.
