We are adding new distribution points to ensure we can distribute our print edition amid the novel coronavirus shutdown. Please follow us on Facebook via @princessanneindy for more information. Our libraries are still on the list below, but availability is restricted by library operations due to Covid. At present, Princess Anne Area Library is the only location with copies readily available on the newspaper rack in the library foyer. Reach John at (757) 502-5393.
The free print edition of The Princess Anne Independent News is available at more than 300 locations, including the following places in Virginia Beach and Currituck County, N.C. We also deliver a limited number of copies to businesses, schools, professional offices and religious institutions upon request, generally south of Dam Neck Road in Virginia Beach or at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. We’ll sometimes [very rarely] drop copies with our friends at Fairgrounds Coffee on Colley Avenue in Norfolk if John is out that way. Email us join the list.

Please feel free to drop some by Back Bay Auto Repair please.
Hi, Patti. This is John, the editor. I can drop some by when we do our distribution. If it is after hours on Thursday or Friday, I’ll bag them and put them at the door. How many copies would you like?
Lets start with 10. : )
I love this idea! Southern VB / old Princess Anne County is such a wonderful area. I will look for your paper.
Can I get an online subscription?

Hello, we receive a drop off of your papers every two weeks at Rick’s Cafe, thought you may want to add us to your list here so people know they can find at our location as well.

Samantha, I added you all under Atlantic Park and Oceana area. Thanks for letting us have the paper there. This is John, the editor.
You’re Welcome! We love being apart of the community!
Can not find the 5 July 2020 issue anywhere on line??
Mr. Williams, We are no longer posting PDFs online. That was temporary during the early days of the novel coronavirus shutdowns. I believe this may be the story you are looking for: http://princessanneindy.com/2020/08/19/garden-2/
