If you enjoy reading The Grand Rapids Press, you can still keep up with the latest local news through Kent District Library. The final printed edition of The Grand Rapids Press will be delivered on December 6, 2026, as the newspaper moves to a digital-only format. But you don’t have to give up your daily news routine. KDL provides free digital access to The Grand Rapids Press through NewsBank, along with a variety of other newspapers and news sources.
NewsBank offers an image-based version of The Grand Rapids Press that looks much like the printed newspaper, including photographs and other images. The newest issue is available in real time, so you can continue following the news as it happens. Visit KDL’s Newspapers & News Sources page to get started.
If you don’t have a computer or smartphone at home, you can use a public computer at your local KDL branch to access NewsBank. Many KDL branches also have Chromebooks available for patrons to use inside the library. While the printed newspaper may be going away, your library is here to make sure you can still stay connected to the news and your community.
