I still carry MOMENT, THE FORWARD, JEWISH REVIEW OF BOOKS, REFORM JUDAISM, the local Jewish weekly, our synagogue newsletter and a few other magazines -- not all titles come to mind right now. They are definitely a "lure" into the library - I have them on a stand-up rack just inside the entrance, visible through the front window - and I don't foresee a time when we won't want these hard copies. On Sunday mornings during religious school I have a few scattered on tables where parents sit and have coffee and a bagel, and I know they are read. Links to the online versions are available, but I know people - yes mostly middle-aged and older folks -- enjoy the magazines.
(Betsy, if you'd like me to send you the full list of which ones I carry, just let me know.)

Does anyone carry Jewish magazines and newspapers in their libraries at this point? Is there much demand for them? If so, which ones? We're a small congregational library that hasn't carried them for several years now. We're moving into a new facility and reconsidering this. A few members have suggested that it might be nice to have a few "lying around," but otherwise there isn't much demand that I can tell. Any suggestions as to which ones to offer, or alternate electronic resources to link to, would be most welcome!
