New Magazines & Books are Arriving
The periodical subscription was updated this year and several new magazines have been ordered based on teacher and student requests. Not all of them have come in yet, but they should start coming in the next few weeks. The complete list of magazines is below. In addition we have a subscription to the USA Today newspaper. Part of the subscription funds was used to purchase 4 new monthly book subscriptions that are adult cross-over books. We will be receiving 15 new books every month through the Junior Library Guild. The books from our local book order are also starting to arrive as well. New books are on display in the library. A listing of the new books can be found in the catalog here.
