Adopt-a-Periodical Drive June 7-August 9, 2015

Have a favorite hobby? Love to

read about exotic destinations? The Washoe

County Library offers an annual opportunity for the public to make sure popular and

favorite periodicals are available. Patrons can partner with the library by “adopting” a

periodical—paying for a one-year subscription.

For the first time this year, the library is offering Flipster, giving patrons access to

digital magazines that can be accessed and read on computers and mobile devices. If

you would like to support this new and exciting service, please indicate “Flipster” as

your preferred title. Donations for digital content will be used to fund in-demand titles that will be accessible to all Washoe County

Library residents, regardless of library branch.
