Check out our magazines
by Sarah Berkowitz of the Content Management department
Portable and fun to read, magazines are popular among our library users.
Each library has a wide selection of titles, right next to comfy chairs to encourage you to
browse the latest issues. Or grab a stack of older magazines to take on your next outing.
With nearly 800 titles, we have magazines for all ages and interests.
Who can resist the vibrant and colorful issues of a favorite gardening or travel magazine? Crafters can find the latest
knitting magazines, as well as titles for crochet, quilting, beading and scrap-booking enthusiasts.
Teens and gamers will find a selection of manga and gaming magazines, while kids browse titles
like American Girl, Ranger Rick and Highlights. Cooking, building, fishing, farming, pumping iron,
skateboarding, investing, 4-wheeling, organizing, decorating, looking for your ancestors--we
have magazines in all these areas as well as many others.
Check them out at your local library or
browse the online Catalog (you can change the search field to "magazine titles") to reserve your copies today.
