MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE IN FULL SWING

Earlier this summer, we alerted our wonderful patrons that due to budget cuts our magazine subscriptions were not being renewed. We asked your help and you have reponded well beyond our expectations. As of September 1, we have new subs for Consumer Reports, Consumer Reports On Health, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Discover for Kids, The Nation, ESPN and National Geographic, Atlantic Monthly and Sports Illustrated, among others. Other patrons are passing along current issues of their magazines once read. In this way, we have, with only slight delay, such magazines as Glamour, Harpers, Newsweek, Kiplingers and Bon Appetit to mention only a few.

Of course, there is always room for more magazine subs or pass-alongs for such titles as the New Yorker, Family Circle, Ebony, Rolling Stone or GQ, among others. One patron would love to read either the Sunday Washington Post or Weekend New York Times. Both are expensive but if a few patrons decided to pool their resources, we could offers these patrons a day or so at home alone with the paper, to be kept in the archives for months thereafter at the library. If that sounds inviting to anyone, please contact Jo Tavener at 412-731-2300 or at swissvalelibrary@gmail.com.

So,a bushful of thanks to our wonderful patrons! See you all at the Book & Bake Sale October 21-24. Pam and Donna's knitted wonders will also be on display! Look for a future blog for more details or come to the library! Volunteers welcome.
