Magazines!

in /by

Did you now the library has a number of magazine subscriptions?  Patrons can browse thru the collection or borrow them to take home and read at a more leisurely pace.  Have a look at New Hampshire magazine or Yankee to get some “local” info, keep up on current events with Newsweek, Time, or Consumer Reports, grab Outside or Mother Earth News for some outdoor play ideas and gardening suggestions or prepare for the outdoor cooking season with some new recipes from Food Network, Real Simple or Food and Wine. And of course there is always inspiration in Martha Stewart Living or Country Living! Don’t forget that Libby also has access to a number of periodicals.
