For these newspapers, gone are the days of squinting to make out words and feeling woozy after spending hours watching as frame after frame scroll across the screen! This is just one example of the way the library provides services to our patrons outside of "normal" business hours in the comfort of your own home.
To use this wonderful new resource, you MUST access it through our website by going to our Genealogy Page by using this link https://poplarbluff.org/genealogy.html and scrolling down to the Newspapers.com section. Use the link in that section and you will be asked for your library card number. You will then be directed to the library's subscription. (Attempting to go direct to the website will ask you to sign up and pay, that's why you must use the link we provide.)
Happy researching!!
