Magazines & Newspapers

GRRL subscribes to over 450 local and national magazines and newspapers. All of the magazines are listed on the online catalog, and most are available for checkout & request.

 

To find titles, go to the library catalog, choose "Advanced Search," and format type "Continuing Resources," and narrow by subject "Periodicals" or "Magazines" or search the magazine title in the search box (adding the word 'magazine' will help narrow your search). Find the magazine title you'd like to request, and click on the title. Individual copies of many titles may be requested by clicking on the "Available" list on the item record page. Choose the issue date you would like, and at the far right side, click "Reserve This Copy." If you prefer to browse the shelves, each library has a selection available for browsing and checkout.

 

Access newspapers and magazines from home with our online databases and digital collections. You can access popular titles such as Cosmopolitan and Country Living, with a Hoopla BingePass for magazines. There is even a BingePass for the Highlights collection! Hoopla is available for Great River Regional Library cardholders. 

 

For research or learning purposes, you can access one of our many online databases. The Gale in Context databases provide videos, newspaper & magazine articles, and other primary sources that can be used for school assignments. The magazine and newspaper articles available in these online resources cover a range of topics, including business, health, and academics. 

 

Don't have a library card? Well, a Minnesota ID is all you need, but we have resources you can access without being at the library or needing a library card. Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub and the St. Cloud Times Index are ready to browse at any time.
