The Antioch branch has a first-rate selection of newspapers. The newspapers are definitely being used as each week they are mixed up and out of order. Sometimes the entire collection is left sitting on the floor. Many people photocopy newspaper articles, and sometimes customers cut out the articles they want. This should not happen, but it does. The most popular ones are USA Today, Kansas City Star, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and St Louis Post Dispatch.
So, you know the library has books. And, you may have heard that we have movies too. But, did you know that we have newspapers? You can check them out just like books!
Thriving In a Stalled Economy: Searching for Jobs: In Print
In this economy, many people are searching for jobs. One of the best resources out there is your local library! Mid-Continent Public Library provides multiple resources and personnel that can help you in your search for the perfect (or any) job!
One of most used techniques for job searches is the newspaper. While many people are no longer subscribing to local newspapers, the library still does. This source is a way for local and national businesses to advertise jobs, job fairs, and training seminars that can help you on your search.
Did you know that in addition to our print copies of newspapers here at MCPL, we also have several archives online that you can access? Just check under the Newspapers section of our Research Databases! There you will find digital copies of every Kansas City Star article from 1991 through today.
