[Publib] RE: Sources for free newsletters and magazines

[Insley, Diane]

This isn't exactly what you asked either, but we have an insurance agent
in town that sponsors 8 magazine subscriptions.  We provide a cover that
is displayed on the current issue saying that this title is sponsored by
her.  At one time, the high school in town had magazines paid for by a
fast food restaurant. 

Maybe there would be a way to solicit sponsorship of some of your
magazines, a local bank might sponsor Business Week or Money or some
other investment item, a local restaurant might sponsor a cooking
magazine, a daycare might sponsor a Parenting magazine, a Dr. a health
magazine - or even some individuals in town might sponsor titles they
like.  We have a customer who receives Science, which is really
expensive.  He reads it quickly and by then is diligent about passing
them to us quickly.  Even though he is gone all summer, we provide him
prepaid mailing envelopes and he sends them to us.

Dear Listmembers,

I work at a rural library as the volunteer librarian. We recently had
our materials budget slashed for periodicals. I am seeking out any
sources for free periodicals and newsletters. We are only interested in
receiving print items, not electronic. How can I find newsletters,
magazines, and journals to subscribe to that are free of charge?
Thank you in advance
