Get Your Fix At The Library

Hi, my name is Miki and I am a Magazine Addict.

I love magazines!  There's something about the oodles of great pictures and assortment of articles that encourage me to exercise, show me how to organize, teach me new recipes for gourmet dishes, give me new ideas for decor and crafts...that I find irresistible.  

But I don't subscribe to any right now because...  
  • We've moved too much in the last few years to maintain a subscription easily
  • I've run out of room on my bookcases
  • The budget hasn't always stretched enough for the one ten that I enjoy reading regularly
With three children, I don't often have the luxury of catching up on the latest editions at a bookstore or the library.  BUT, I have found an economical, practical way to savor a variety of magazines at home...the free magazine table at my library!  What a huge blessing!  Though the selection isn't always current, I find that as a plus since the articles/features are still valuable and may not be accessible online.  I take a few that interest me, peruse through them at home, keep the ones that I like and may rip pages out of for reference, and return to the table the magazines I don't want in case someone else may want to read them.  I greatly appreciate the people who share their subscriptions by donating their magazines to the free table, and I contribute when I can.

The library is a fantastic resource for books, music, magazines and events.  Check out your local library!
