Yes, Virginia, you can access 1808Delaware at every branch of the Delaware County District Library, free of charge.
A new online news source recently promoted the fact that DCDL is giving library cardholders “free, unlimited access to independent local news at all DCDL locations” to their content.
That may be true, and it is certainly good when libraries expand access to local information. But there is an important distinction.
You can go into any branch and freely read that source’s news and information there. Outside those library locations, however, access to that site, like another local news sites serving the area, requires a paid subscription.
With 1808Delaware, the area’s first daily updated, online-focused news source, you can already walk into any library branch, sit down at any computer connected to the internet, and have free access to everything we offer. That’s the way it has been for many years.
In fact, you can do that at no charge from your own home or office, while walking through downtown Delaware, Powell, Westerville, or other local communities, while relaxing at Delaware State Park, or from the campus of Ohio Wesleyan or Otterbein.
You can also read us from New York City, London, Paris, or anywhere else with an internet connection.
It’s part of our commitment to readers.
We believe that news important to your daily lives is too precious to have a toll booth.
One more thing: we love the local library, and highly recommend a visit anyway!
