Can You Use Old Magazines?

To maintain a timely collection and conform to our space needs, each year the oldest issues of our magazines are withdrawn. Do you collect any titles or have any art projects planned? If so, email Amelia (amelia.talbert@thehowe.org) with your requested titles and she will let you know if the titles you want are available. In January, when the issues have been culled, you will receive an email notifying you that you have 3 days to collect them.
