Where Have All the Magazines Gone?

If you have been in the library lately you may have noticed the magazines section getting smaller and smaller. We promise we have nothing against magazine here at the library. The transition from print to digital has been happening slowly for many years, then 2020 hit and magazines suffered like the rest of us. A significant amount of the titles we had been receiving ceased publication completely, while others have transitioned to all digital. We will keep getting print magazines as long as they are available to us because many patrons still enjoy looking through their monthly favorites. So don't think we have an issue with magazines, we love them as much as all of you.
