Newspapers - paper or online

Newspapers have changed alot over the past few years. While the Library once had many subscriptions, nowadays we keep only a few for people to catch up on their local news. However, most newspapers are easily available via the Internet. You can check out our library resources page for several free subscriptions courtesy of the State of North Dakota:

but one thing you won't find easily is The Fargo Forum online. The Forum makes current articles available; but for past issues you end up in their archives, and they ask you to pay for each article. The cost, it seems to me, is high. So, the Library depends on an older technology. We purchase microfilm copies of The Forum, which arrive monthly. We have done this since 1966, and until their online resource is cheaper, we will continue to do this. Check their archive for the article you want, then come make your copy from the microfilm. It's easy!
