The Curriculum Department of the Calvin T. Ryan Library 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.
On this page, you will find a list of all of the children's magazines that the department subscribes to. The physical copies for the current year/volume can be found near the Curriculum Meeting Room, with the physical copies of the back issues we have being located at the end of the nearby Curriculum Collection.
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 magazine's website (if applicable), as well as broad subject areas and recommended audiences for each title.
