We just received word that many of our newspapers delivered daily are no
longer available.  The delivery service says that the major newspaper
companies can no longer afford to transport papers to smaller markets.
Our only option will be to subscribe to newspapers via mail delivery,
meaning that our users who like to come in first thing in the morning
and read the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune will no longer be
able to do so.

I wonder if other libraries are experiencing similar problems with
newspaper delivery?  Will you continue with mail delivery?  Or are you
canceling print newspapers and relying on the online versions?
