Extensive media coverage of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions will be available for viewing on the television screens of the News and Microforms Library on the ground floor of West Pattee Library. The viewing area will feature programming from C-SPAN, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC from 2 to 9 p.m. during the four-day events — July 18-21 and July 25-28, respectively. Both closed captioned broadcasts (W21 Pattee) and broadcasts with audio (W22 Pattee) will be available.

The Republican National Convention, set for July 18-21 in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Democratic National Convention, July 25-28 in Philadelphia, will feature a schedule of speakers, including the nominees and other party and national leaders, live reporting and analysis. Broadcast and cable news coverage times and channels will vary throughout the convention coverage with the networks determining schedules for both conventions. For a more detailed viewing schedule as well as any changes, visit the News & Microforms Library webpage.

Convention viewings are free and open to the public and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The viewing sessions end when the University Libraries closes at 9 p.m. each night. For more information, contact librarian Eric Novotny at ecn1@psu.edu.
