My kids still seem to enjoy the periodicals especially Sports Illustrated and GL, the more pop culture, less "academic" the better..  I cut back on a couple, but still get a fair number. 
ResearchitCT.org (iConn) has some popular titles online, but aside from teachers using them; I don't see the kids logging in to read the magazines.  I'm going to stick with them for awhile.

Good morning, everyone!

Could I ask for some opinions/information on your plans for periodical subscriptions in your libraries during these tight budget years (well, they all seem to be tight budget years!)?

The purist librarian in me hates the idea of discontinuing periodicals that should be loved and appreciated at this age (we are a 5/6 intermediate school), but the kids just don't read them or check them out, despite focus and challenges... have any of you decided to omit this material type from your collections?  If so, did you simply add the $$ to your book materials, or did you choose online periodicals instead?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated... will post a synopses after your responses!

Have a great day,
