[CASL-L] Thinking on Periodicals for an Intermediate School

[Ellen Nosal]

Check with your local public library.  Ours offers free access to many popular magazines through a service called Zinio.  Students might like to explore that option.  That would leave you more money for books, etc.  Maybe I should consider doing that too!

 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,

:) pia ledina
