Actually, Reform Judaism Magazine stopped publishing at the end of 2014. It
seems to have been a precipitous decision because the final issue didn't alert
readers that this is the final issue! In our library, I've gradually let lapse
the publications that are available free online, and continue to get several
which aren't free-such as Commentary. However I never see anyone reading any
of them on Sunday mornings anymore; everyone is on a laptop or reading a book,
so I am considering letting all the magazines expire.

{}#yiv1829268134 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.) Amy TurimTemple EmanuelKensington,

Subject: [ha-Safran] Magazines and Newspapers? 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! Thanks –Betsy GephartCongregation
