Adopt-a-MagazineAdopt-A-Magazine Drive

As the cost of magazines continues to rise, the library is faced with the difficult challenge of maintaining our popular magazine collection. Because of budget constraints, it may be necessary for the library to drop a number of its current subscriptions.

But there is a way you can help!!

Through the Adopt-A-Magazine program, you can defray our costs and save your favorite magazines. It’s simple … just stop in and fill out to fill out a special "adoption" form. Circle the title of the magazine you are interested in saving, fill in your name and address in the space provided and return the completed form with your check or cash to the circulation desk.

We will acknowledge your good deed with a dedication card on the front of your chosen magazine display case. General donations are also appreciated and will be used to offset subscription costs of non-adopted magazines.

As always, we thank you for your continued support and dedication to Ilion Free Public Library!
