• Print magazines are located on the 3rd floor, east side of the Main Library. Materials are shelved alphabetically by title. You can check bound magazines out at the Service Desk or use the self checkout machine. You can also scan pages and send them to yourself via email or save to a flash drive.

*When looking for advertisements use search terms like brand names (if known) or marketing speak, i.e. what words would be used in an ad to 'sell' a product.
