Livingston Library Community,

Are you looking to stay up to date on current events and trending topics? Are you looking to research news events for a particular time period in history? If so, the Livingston Library has both print and digital resources available to help! 

Those looking for historical newspapers from the U.S., including many newspapers local to New Jersey will enjoy exploring the Library’s new subscription to ProQuest Historical News. This resource provides genealogists, researchers, and scholars with easily searchable first-hand accounts of events of the time. It’s useful for those doing academic research projects as well as for those exploring their family history. 

In addition to Proquest Historical News, the Library also offers library card holders online access to the Star Ledger , New York Times, and WallStreet Journal. With these resources, you can read both current news and past articles from specific dates.  Unsure if the news you are reading is reliable? The Library also has a libguide of fact-checking resources to help you with evaluating news sources.  

With the internet, social media, and 24-hour news cycles, information has never been more abundant. The library has also compiled a list of fact-checking resources to help you verify the accuracy of what you read, see, and hear in the media. 

The next time you are in the library, we invite you to browse our print periodical collection. The Library’s print periodicals contain current newspapers such as the Star Ledger, Record, New York Times, WallStreet Journal, Daily News, Barrons, West Essex Tribune, and more. We hope to see you at the Library soon! 

Best, 

Amy Babcock, Director
