Category Archives: Magazines

We just ran some numbers to see which magazines our patrons are checking out. I’m looking ahead to 2o13 budget, and if we opt not to renew some of the magazines we currently receive, I want to make sure that I keep the ones that people are reading and checking out.

But the tricky part is knowing what magazines people are reading here in the library. Most days there are several people over by the fireplace (more on cold winter day), curled up with magazines and newspapers.

What about you? If you’re one of those in-the-library magazine readers, let us know which magazines you like to browse through.

Here’s the top- ten list, based on 5-years circulation.

Did you know that the library subscribes to about 90 periodicals? (That’s library lingo for magazines and newspapers.)  Click here for a list.

We’ve got magazines for kids and teens, magazines in Spanish, magazines that cover subjects from architecture to weight watching, plus four daily newspapers. Also, we have nice comfy chairs around the fireplace where you can curl up and read. 

Relax and browse the latest issue of People, Newsweek, Seattle, or Smithsonian, or whatever floats your boat.  The newest issue of each magazine is for reading in the library, but three year’s worth of back issues can be checked out.

So the next time you’re in the library, check out the periodicals. We’ve most likely got magazines that support your interests, and others that might just pique your interest on something new or teach you something about the world around you.
