Excerpt from Periodicals for the Small Library

The steadily increasing use of periodicals and particularly of the popular magazines makes it necessary for even the smallest library to have some for the use of its patrons. The popular magazine will attract to the library many who have already become accustomed to magazine reading but who seldom read any books other than the most trashy fiction. Even though the chief attraction of the average magazine is its short story or its serial fiction, there are few magazines which lay claim even to respectability that do not contain articles on politics, science and other subjects of general importance so attractively presented and illustrated as to hold the attention of even the careless reader. In the smaller libraries this use for general reading will be the chief argument for subscribing to magazines.

In addition to this usually temporary use the permanent value of the magazine as reference material must be considered. In a considerable number of cases the magazine which is popular for general reading will also be a valuable reference aid, especially for club papers and debates on current topics.' In other cases the magazine may very properly be purchased chiefly for its reference value.

Magazines which are used primarily for general reading should be circulated. Most libraries circulate all unbound numbers, except the current one, for a limited period (usually from three to seven days).
