“MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY” JANUARY 5

On Saturday, January 5, Beebe Library will offer its fifth annual Magazine Giveaway.

The public is invited to stop by the library between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to browse through a wide selection of magazines that are two years old or older. Take some home for reading during the upcoming snowstorms, or discover some ideas for home projects.

The library removes magazines that are more than two years old at the end of each year. The content of these magazines is still available through online magazine indexes that can be accessed on library computers and also from computers at your home.

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