In selecting magazines for a small public library two things must bebomeinmind; the use of the magazine for current reading, and its value for reference when permanently bound. In a very small collection the current use of the magazine is of first consideration. As the collection grows, reference value is of increasing importance. The general literary magazines should therefore be chosen first, and afterwards those relating to special subjects. Local conditions must determine the choice of both general and special publications. As a rule it is better to buy a few good magazines than a large number of cheap ones. This is especially true in some small communities where few of the people can aflford to take the more expensive, but many subscribe for the cheap, periodicals. lL The latest numbers of the current periodicals should be placed in open cases in tb6 reading-room and the preceding numbers filed where they are easily accessible for reference until the volume is completed and ready I for binding. It is advisable to circulate all but the cur Li rent number. As soon as funds permit, the library should furnish duplicate copies of the most popular mag- azines for this purpose. The magazine gives as much pleasure as a late novel, and costs about a third of the price.
