Decatur Public Library Offers Digital Newspaper Collection

We are excited to bring you a new digital newspaper collection!  Titled America’s News, this collection is free to library patrons and is updated daily. America’s News provides Web-based access to current and archived, full-text issues of The Decatur Daily.

America’s News enables library patrons to easily search and browse current and archived news articles, editorials, reviews, birth and marriage announcements, obituaries and a variety of special sections. Patrons can use this resource for general reference or to research local and national issues, events, people, government, education, arts, business, sports, real estate and much more.

In addition to using workstations here in the library, you can access the collection from home by clicking on the NewsBank logo above. A current library card will be required to use the service from home (you will have to sign in with your card number).

The following is a list of what is available through Decatur Public Library’s NewsBank account:
