The Clay County Library System is now giving card holders free digital access to newspapers.

With a valid library card, Clay County residents can browse millions of articles and video clips from local, state, national and international sources, regardless of whether they have a paid subscription to those outlets.

By going to https://www.claycountygov.com/community/library and going to the digital library section, current and past editions of national newspapers and wire services like The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press are available for free, as well as local publications like The Florida Times-Union and the Gainesville Sun.

Readers also can search over 12,000 titles spanning a wide variety of sources. Enter a topic into the search bar and all articles containing that word or phrase are listed along with a preview of the content containing the searched words.
