Library PressDisplay: 1600+ Newspapers, 92 Countries, 48 Languages

by: Vicki Nesting

Library PressDisplay offers library patrons the whole newspaper without all the paper. Every article, advertisement, crossword puzzle, and cartoon is presented in its original context. By subscribing to Library PressDisplay, libraries can:



  • Save thousands of dollars a year while significantly expanding the collection of newspapers and magazines. For the price of a few printed editions, libraries can offer their patrons access to hundreds of publications, with new titles being added every month at no additional cost.

  • Deliver today’s local and international newspapers to patrons as soon as they are published, often hours before they hit the newsstands.

  • Decrease the effort it takes to manage media resources. Library PressDisplay requires no software downloads and easily integrates with all existing catalogues.

  • Free up space in the library once reserved for printed newspapers by offering an online product that works with any browser on existing in-library computers. PressDisplay is also accessible to patrons remotely.

  • Reduce the library’s ecological footprint by choosing an environmentally friendly solution that to date has saved more than 100,000 trees and doesn’t get users’ hands dirty.

Library PressDisplay also offers powerful navigation, cross-title searching, listening, sharing, and social networking, tools to enhance the reading experience of your patrons.
