About the magazines
The Curriculum Department has a number of children's magazines available to check out. These magazines are published for children, but are a good resource for lesson plans, as well. In addition to this, they are also beneficial for people who are learning the English language.
Below, you will find a list of all of the children's magazines that the department subscribes to. These physical copies can be found near the Curriculum Meeting Room.
Included for each title is a link to the physical holdings at the library, links to Electronic Resources information (if applicable) for each title, a link for the magazines website (if applicable), as well as broad subject areas and recommended audiences for each title.
