Quilt magazines
Quilting magazines are expensive as we all know and usually there may be only one, or maybe two, patterns that we like in a magazine. Your local library subscribes to many, many magazines, including quilting magazines. Did you know that older issues can be checked out, just like a book? You can also make a copy of something from the current issue right there in the library. Also, see if your library subscribes to Zinnio. It is a service that has hundreds of magazines digitally. You can download a magazine through your library and it stays on your computer until you delete it out. Your library is an amazing place.

I have never heard that my local small library has this service. Many of my quilting friends have never mentioned this that are active with local library. it is hard for me to get there because I don't drive.

The library in my town only has subscriptions to magazines that are donated to the library. Many patrons will give a subscription in the library's name. When I get the $10 gift subscription for friends from most quilt magazines I always use one for the library. Check with the library and see if the subscriptions are all donated. Most are.

Some times a subscription is given in Memory of someone.... My parents donated $$ to local Library for books on Trees... for a Neighbor who had a lumber mill... or donations can be given and designated for a subscription -local Quilt Group does this every year...also they donate Quilt for a raffle for the Library to use the $$$ for special projects...
