THANK YOU!

Submitted by heather.zeoli on Fri, 12/02/2016 - 12:18

Metro Libraries staff you have helped us reach 96% towards our goal of $15,000 for the United Way. 10 teams achieved 100% participation in completing and returning their forms and 2 teams met Tim’s stretch goal of 100% participation and an average gift of $30 per person. In our random drawing, the winner of the special delivery from Tim is… the staff of Warr Acres! Congratulations!

Newspaper Finder

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Wed, 11/30/2016 - 11:09

Metro is fortunate to subscribe to a number of newspaper databases with well over 15,000 titles! While this means we have newspapers in hundreds of languages, across centuries, and from around the globe, it does get overwhelming. For example, have you had a member ask about papers from a small town in Ohio or a member wanting to read a Chinese newspaper but you aren't sure where to start? Look no further than the Newspaper Finder!
