[aisle] Magazines for a small, rural high school

[Amy Phillips]

My question to you would be, what do you see as the purpose of your
magazine collection? I don't get much usage from mine, but I do get some
browsers looking through Game Informer, things like Entertainment
Weekly/People, or Rolling Stone. I do have one teacher who gives extra
credit for reading in a French language magazine, so we make sure always to
renew that.
