March 2014: Introducing our Newest Magazines

Every year, we have what we call March Magazine Madness which means - out with the old and in with the new. We begin with a spring cleaning: putting our magazine titles back in order, sending out journals to get bound with covers, and selling off the oldest editions in the collection. This year is no different and we are happy to offer up old copies of popular titles for our members to purchase. Our annual magazine sale runs through the end of March and gives our members an opportunity to get some classic issues of Bon Appétit, Rolling Stone, Daedalus, and more.

Not only are we spring cleaning but we are also introducing the new magazines we’ve added to the collection. Based on member suggestions and staff recommendations, we now subscribe to a mix of new titles that include international newspapers and journals, health related subjects, writing, literature, and other popular topics.

Come to the 3rd floor and take part in our March Madness. Buy a bundle of old magazines and then check out the new titles available in our magazine department. You can also browse our magazine titles online at: http://search.milibrary.org/search/n

Here’s a small sampling of the new titles we’ve added:

The Guardian Weekly

The latest edition to our newspaper collection has an international flair; the Guardian Weekly compiles articles from four of the world’s top newspapers – the Guardian (UK), Le Monde (Paris), the Washington Post (USA), and the Observer (UK). Originally founded after WWI to keep the US informed of world events, the Guardian Weekly provides a round-up of comprehensive news, features, commentaries, and analysis of world events, politics, business, and culture. You can find the latest issue of the Guardian Weekly hanging on the newspaper rack on the 3rd floor.

Glimmer Train Stories

Looking to get your story published? Glimmer Train Stories is a tri-annual short story journal that publishes reader submissions, offers writing contests, and offers support for emerging writers and those interested in the medium. Published by a team of two sisters, Glimmer Train Stories is advertiser free, promoting the work of their writers and presenting eclectic mix of literary stories and fiction.

MORE: For Women of Style & Substance

Our newest women’s magazine, MORE: For Women of Style & Substance, caters to a mature audience and celebrates smart and sophisticated interests in beauty, travel, and reinvention. The magazine claims to skip the frilly and mundane pieces usually found in other women’s journals and puts the MORE filter into their articles relating to fashion, career, health, and current events. The magazine offers a positive outlook on aging and addresses issues women face as they reach new perspectives in life.

Monocle

An international lifestyle, travel, and business magazine, Monocle addresses a “mobile global audience” and also operates a website, online radio station, and has storefronts and cafes in several major cities. Stylish and fresh with a colorful cover that outlines their core A-E topics (Affairs, Business, Culture, Design, and Edits), Monocle is a welcome addition to our collection of lifestyle and culture magazines.
