The Dallas Public Library is all books and no news. All branches have temporarily lost access to periodicals.

There is a small stack of print newspapers behind the desk at the Vickery Park branch, but they are first-come-first-serve, as there's a lack of variety in the types of publications — which are normally available through PressReader.“We have procedures that we have to go through, and the review processes and quotes we have to get and that sort of thing,” Dease says. “It just takes time.”
The past fiscal year's contract with PressReader cost $32,460.48. Although the library has budgeted for a new PressReader contract, Dease says that it has not yet received a quote for the renewal from PressReader. Dease also says the delay in renewing the contract is not related to any budgetary concerns and is a normal renewal process.
