New Magazine Collection Coming Soon!

Hewes Library Popular Magazine Collection will be arriving shortly! On your return from Winter break, you will notice that the magazine/periodical racks in Hewes Library look different. On the main bank of shelves facing you as you come to the Coffee Shop, there are semi-empty shelves where there used to be many magazines. This is because that space will soon be filled with a new collection of light reading magazines.

As a result of the online survey done last semester, the library started new subscriptions to number of popular magazines and decided to place them in a separate collection so they are easy to find. Beginning in the next month or two, you will see this spaced filled by new titles of general interest. Among the new collection titles are Brides, Game Informer, Fitness, Frommer’s Budget Travel, Outdoor Life, People and Vogue. Some titles we currently receive like Ebony, Consumer Reports, Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated were relocated to the new collection. These magazines, like the rest of our collection, will not circulate, but will be available to read when the library is open. So come on in and watch the collection grow and read a magazine during your Coffee Shop breaks.

NOTE: Some other titles that might be considered “light” reading like Newsweek, Time, Sky and Telescope and the Archaeology magazines will still be found on the shelves behind the new collection filed in alphabetical order.
