Just a note to say I am really enjoying these lists. Some of the titles take me aback, others make me think, yeah, I wonder if we should . . .
Has the Facebook poll been started yet? I hope you share the results of that with us. Thank you for starting this thread.
Sincerely,

We have a gallery of popular magazines for people to just pick up and read when they are relaxing on the couches and chairs in our quiet reading and coffee room. The magazines get used quite a bit. I always see someone grabbing one
or some laying out. I try to keep a wide variety of popular magazines dealing with different interests and majors on campus. For instance, I have out History Today, HR Magazine, Outside and Sports Illustrated. My sense is that people like to just pick something
interesting and relax with their coffee or snack. I think it’s a highly utilized resource in an area that is highly trafficked and I think our patrons value the chance to just kick back and take a break from technology and school.

Subject: [SERIALST] Magazines for Leisure Reading
We’re in the process of opening a new Learning Commons and while we’ve always had a Leisure Reading section for magazines, I’ve been pretty haphazard in making choices for this section. I was thinking about doing a little survey through
our Facebook page directed to our students to see what they enjoy reading. I was also curious about choices that are being made by others on the list. Because of all the electronic resources I know are Leisure Reading area is not as heavily used but are
others seeing that as well?
Thanks,
