Tomorrow's News Today! Vancouver Public Library Is The First Library In The World To Offer NewspaperDirect Service

"Vancouver Public Library is the first library in the world to offer NewspaperDirect - a unique, cutting edge product which provides same-day access to over 150 international newspapers. With the time difference between Vancouver and many of the newspapers offered, VPL will actually be able to offer tomorrow's news today.

Vancouver Public Library will be providing access to a selection of these papers at the Central Library's Newspaper & Magazines Division, and at a number of Branches. The Central Library will begin this service by offering El Pais (Spain), Korea Daily News (South Korea), the LA Times (USA), Le Monde (France), the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Philippines), the UK Times (England), and the Washington Post (USA). Patrons will be encouraged to suggest future titles in order to expand the choice of the core group of papers." [Vancouver Public Library, via Library News Daily]
