Hi Rita: Unfortunately the days of paper-based magazines are over. Considering the currency (not necessarily the accuracy) of information we seek, it's understandable. Nonetheless, not all books and magazines on paper will disappear completely. Some may make their way to archives or museums, others to special collections - space permitting. And the rest of them will meet their end like the books in my Books board on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/terimm53/books.

Rita ...most of the magazines are archived online. Look at the covers of the magazines. If one or two of them look particularly cute, rip them off and have them permaplact to decorate/lhang on the wall which will bring everyone's attention that the magazines still exist but in a different glitzier format. You could make a wall display of the best front covers of 9-10 magazines: "Your library! Keeping up with the times! Good literature now on the Internet".... or something like that. Next, toss all the rest of the whole magazine kit-n-kaboodle into a Free-Bee Bin with an invitation to whomever likes, to take home howevermuch they like, of whatsoever strikes their fancy. After about a month invite everybody to riffle through what's left and to RIP OUT out articles that are of particular interest. At the end of another month, buy a hamster or some guinea piggies for the library. Tear the magazines that are left up into strips and you'll have several months of fluffy, curly paper for the hamster to run around in.
