Sale of the month

We are in the midst of our annual magazine sale. Here is your chance to get a full year's (monthly) or a big bundle (weekly) of a magazine for a buck. How can you beat that? The Kelley Library subscribes to over 300 magazines so there are a lot to pick from. Being a recipe junky - I collect with good intentions, and occasionally actually try them - I am sorely tempted by those bundles of cooking magazines. I have already given in once and bought the bundle of Gourmet magazines - and have ripped out a ton of recipes to add to the pile. But you know, there are so many that are tempting - after all it is only a buck. Arthritis Today - could be helpful in helping with those aches and pains. New Hampshire to Go - tempting, since I am new to the area (but it is already gone - I snoozed and lost). Those needlework magazines, the In Style and other decorating titles . . . I could buy them all. And then when I think about my family I am further tempted. The only thing holding me back is knowing I will have to take them over to the transfer station to recycle and you know, that arthritis makes it tough to do.
So stop in and take a browse, it's amazing what a buck can still get for you: help in remodeling your home, world travel without spending more than a buck, inspiration for the garden you are making plans for now that spring is almost here, trips through history, valuable help in dealing with your kids. They talk about a bang for your buck - you can really find it at the Kelley Library right now.
