On Saturday, January 3, Beebe Library will offer its annual magazine giveaway. At the end of each year, the library removes hard copies of magazines that are more than two years old. The content of these magazines is still available electronically through online magazine indexes that can be accessed on library computers and also from computers at your home.

Stop by the library between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday to browse through a wide selection of magazines that are two years old. Take some home for reading during the upcoming winter weather, discover some ideas for home projects or try some new recipes.

Although the magazines are of little or no value, donations to the
Friends of the Library will be accepted.
