The Library has added a new online resource called Library PressDisplay. This is a fantastic resource that allows you to read today's newspapers from around the world, many in the language of that country. Some of the newspapers are available in audio format, which enables you to have the paper read to you.

If you or a loved one want to keep abreast of events in a foreign country, this is the site for you! You need a Palo Alto library card to use this at home.
