News of local interest happens everywhere, from small towns to big cities across the United States. America's News provides access to information on people, issues and events in the local area and around the country. This comprehensive resource offers hundreds of millions of current and archived full-text articles from news sources nationwide in a single, fully searchable online database.

Just a click away:

With support from the New Jersey State Library, Atlantic County Library System provides our patrons with access to the Legal Information Reference Center.  This resource provides detailed how-to instructions and forms addressing a wide range of legal issues, including family affairs, businesses and corporations, property and real estate, wills and estates, immigration, and court proceedings. In addition to reading full-text versions of Nolo legal guides written for laypeople, users can search for downloadable legal forms by state (although for the most up-to-date forms, users are directed to the various state courts’ websites).

Anyone can search this site using library computers. Just select the Databases & Research page from the library’s homepage on the drop-down menu labeled Resources. ACLS library card holders can access the database remotely.
